Schatten, ein dumpfes Geraeusch
Ratten unter dem Holz
Kratzen an der Kellertuer
Du weisst, du bist nicht
Du bist nicht alleine, Augen in der Nacht
Maedchen musst nicht weinen, bald schon wieder lacht
Du hast nicht alleine die Dunkelheit verbracht
Die Schatten haben 'ne Weile Gesellschaft dir gemacht
Blicke im Ruecken
doch du drehst dich nicht um
Ersticken, Atemnot
Du weisst, du hast nicht
Du hast nicht alleine die Dunkelheit verbracht
Die Schatten haben 'ne Weile Gesellschaft dir gemacht
Du bist nicht allein
Du bist nicht allein

Shadows, a muffled sound
Rats beneath the boards
Scratching at the cellar door
You know you're not -
You're not alone, eyes in the night
Girl, don't cry now - soon comes the light
You weren't the only one trapped in the dark
The shadows kept you company for a while, left their mark
Glances at your back
But you don't turn around
Choking, gasping for air
You know you didn't -
You didn't spend the darkness on your own
The shadows stayed with you, though you felt alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
