Shadows down under

Original song Lyrics [Verse] They shake hands in the dark of night Behind the curtains out of sight Promises made with a devil's grin Trading their souls just to win [Chorus] Oh the shadows down under they creep Secrets they sow while the people sleep Whispers of gold in the corridors wide Truth gets buried on the corrupt side [Verse 2] Pockets lined with a miner's greed They sell the land for a selfish need Voices silenced the protests drown As they build their castles on stolen ground [Chorus] Oh the shadows down under they creep Secrets they sow while the people sleep Whispers of gold in the corridors wide Truth gets buried on the corrupt side [Bridge] A handshake here a favor there Lies wrapped in a tailored affair They wear their masks with practiced ease Power’s a game where they aim to please [Verse 3] We watch the news but they twist the frame Pointing fingers while dodging blame They raise a glass to the deals they made While the honest hearts are left betrayed [Chorus] Oh the shadows down under they creep Secrets they sow while the people sleep Whispers of gold in the corridors wide Truth gets buried on the corrupt side
