LorD and Master - Touchpaper Lyrics

Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
Winter’s cloak shrouds him
And saves him from the noose
Locking down the house at night
Through the streets he creeps
A shadow falls over a town
As nervously, it sleeps
Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
Picking off the people
He blames for his abuse
He may have been the victim
He may be in the right
But now he’s in the shadows
And fallen from the light
Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
He made a deal with demons
There will never be a truce
They used to laugh to loudly
They never heard his cries
Now they’re fitful sleepers
Dark circles round their eyes
Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
Someone lit the touchpaper
Just to see the flames produce
Somewhere in the distance
The clouds heavy with snow
Their undersides are burning
With an awful orange glow

Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
Winter’s cloak shrouds him
And saves him from the noose
Locking down the house at night
Through the streets he creeps
A shadow falls over a town
As nervously, it sleeps
Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
Picking off the people
He blames for his abuse
He may have been the victim
He may be in the right
But now he’s in the shadows
And fallen from the light
Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
He made a deal with demons
There will never be a truce
They used to laugh to loudly
They never heard his cries
Now they’re fitful sleepers
Dark circles round their eyes
Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a monster on the loose
Someone lit the touchpaper
Just to see the flames produce
Somewhere in the distance
The clouds heavy with snow
Their undersides are burning
With an awful orange glow
