Lyrics

Presumed Lyrics

(Verse 1)

All the shadows that move across my wall

Keep me up in the night as the darkness calls

All the devils and saints are in my mind

If I scream out at night, it'll be my time

it'll be my time, it'll be my time, it'll be my time

(Verse 2)

I can see them at night flying next to me

All those thoughts in my mind, help me, I can't breathe

See the struggle I fight, shadows scream in my mind

Leave my maker tonight, and leave the devil behind

Leave the devil behind, leave the devil behind, leave the devil behind behind

(Chorus)

They're watching you, they're watching me

I can help you now, I can help you see

And still they come

(Verse 3)

Standing close to the end for everyone in this world

People die without clothes, say their stories aren't told

All the shadows, they're still and it's a motion call

But light the fire in your eyes, still the devils they come

Still the devils they come, still the devils they come, still the devils they come

(Chorus)

They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)

I can help you now, I can help you see (they're watching me)

They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)

I can help you now, I can help you see

And still they come, and still they come

Still the devils they come, and still they come

(Bridge)

Still the devils they... and still they come

Still the devils they come, and still they come

Still the devils they come, still the devils they come

Still the devils they come, they come, they come, they come, they come

(Chorus)

They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)

I can help you now, I can help you see (they're watching me)

They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)

I can help you now, I can help you see

And still they come

-Twelve years later, in April 2024, @denishansell830 left a YouTube comment on the video saying:
+They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)
-“The song was written by a guy from Brisbane whose name is Marco Mazzei.
+I can help you now, I can help you see (they're watching me)
-It's called 'Still They Come'. It was recorded in his bedroom studio around about 2007 / 2008. Marco had the song written and the tracks recorded he gave me the stems and I wrote the main riff and lead guitar parts and recorded them separately in my bedroom studio. Marco then mixed and mastered an mp3 which I was given a copy of. About 13 years ago my brother in law, blackadder73, asked if he could use as a backing track for a video. I can no longer find the copy of mp3 file and moved to NZ in 2009 and have lost contact with Marco.”
-We are still awaiting more info.
