Cloak and Dagger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember the burning I felt inside as you touched my frozen heart
I remember the screams and the pain within as my soul was torn apart
I recall being hungry and for years I stood my ground
Even though you were never, oh no never, never around
God, how I needed you


[Verse 2]
I remember they warned me, oh, how they told me yours was the kiss of shame
I remember the Devil coming to steal my soul again and again
I remember the dawn was breaking on Cathedrals of unholy light
I was searching for answers where singers and dancers will travel on through the night
I've been hurt by evil games
First you're here and then you ain't

[Chorus]
Cloak and dagger, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cloak and dagger
Cloak and dagger, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cloak and dagger


[Bridge]
Oh, there's something about you just doesn't seem real
You say if I don't sell my soul, you will steal
A promise should stand, I know the command
And me, like a fool, took it in
In the valley of death do I stand in the shadow
Or fight for the right to be free?
A kiss on the wind whispers die, dying glory

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
