"Why are thou so dark and depressing?
O shadow, shadow?
Why are thou so dark and depressing?
Pray tell me why it is so."
"O I like to conceal thoughts and actions,
Human, human.
O I like to conceal thoughts and actions."

"I've never seen thou so concealing,
O shadow, shadow.
I've never seen thou so concealing.
Pray tell me why it is so."
"O I'm never seen as so,
Victim, victim.
O I'm never seen as so."

"Why are thou drawing nearer and nearer,
O shadow, shadow?
Why are thou drawing so close?
Pray tell me why it is so."
"O I'm not drawing nearer. 'Tis you that's drawing nearer.
Victim, victim.
O 'tis you that's drawing nearer to me."

"Why are thou so slick with blood,
O shadow, shadow?
Why are thou so slick with bright red blood?
Pray tell me why it is so."
"O 'tis not my bright red blood ye see
Victim, victim.
O 'tis not my slick blood ye see."

"Why can I not feel my toes,
O shadow, shadow?
Why can I not feel my toes?
Pray tell me why it is so."
"O ask me not for I do not know,
Victim, victim.
O ask me not for I do not know."

"Why is it I see thou true form,
O shadow, shadow?
Why is it I see thou true human form?
Pray tell me why it is so."
"O I take great pleasure in seeing my victims die,
Human, human.
O I take great pleasure in seeing thou die!"
