Shadow Play Lyrics


I can feel it in the air
I can feel it young and strong
Like an intoxicating dare
(Like an intoxicating dare)
For some residue of joy
Simple pleasures and delights
Would you buy that ruthless ploy
Would you buy that ploy?
Mark my words
It's not quite what you thought
Shadow play
Directed by you
Love portrays Ms. Take
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain
The princess rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be playedAnd here now comes the sweet caress

Unreality to guide us
With a forceful righteousness
(With a forceful righteousness)
And you can taste the kiss of death
More divine than breath I know
Always just the right address
Just the right caress
Mark my words
It's not quite what you thought
Shadow play
Directed by you
Love portrays Ms. Take
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain
The princess rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be playedSo this is what you think you need
To play the game
A pretty royal flush
Of second hand fame
For proof of excellence
For critical acclaim
Aloof preeminence
Preceding your pen name
Clichés of violence
And off mark blame
Some character flaws
To masticate the shame
Sex in a dress in a wide array
Sex in a suit, hello, happy birthday
Mark my words
It's never what you thoughtShadow play
Directed by you
Love portrays Ms. Take
The Oscar goes to hate
Dragons slain
The princess rescued
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played
It's all what you create
Your shadows will be played

Poets of the Fall is a rock band formed in 2003 in Helsinki, Finland composed of singer Marko Saaresto ("Mark"), guitarist Olli Tukiainen ("Ollie") and keyboardist Markus Kaarlonen ("Captain"). They gained their first fame by recording the title theme of Max Payne 2, Late Goodbye. In June 2004 it was later released as a single and followed by Lift in September, which turned out to be a big hit. Their first album, Signs of Life was released in January 2005 and immediately went to number one on the Finnish Top40 list and remained on the chart for over a year. Their sophomore record Carnival of Rust was released in April 2006, preceded by a title track single, Carnival of Rust in March and providing another hit. The next singles were Sorry Go 'Round and Locking Up the Sun. Both albums have reached platinum status in Finland.

The name, Poets of the Fall, comes from the idea that two opposites form a whole, ie. there isn't one without the other. "Poets" here represent the positive side and "the Fall" the negative. Of course, when you join these two concepts, the "Poets" starts to sound just a tad mischievious as well... depends, of course, on how you perceive "the Fall". You might see it as a beautiful crisp season and the "Poets" are its insightful architects...

Among many others, the trio has received the following awards:

* Best Finnish Act at MTV Europe Music Awards 2006
* Best Finnish Music Video of all time in TV2's Musiikki-TV; two bronze Muuvi Awards and Best Music Video of 2006 at The Voice (video Carnival of Rust)
* Two Emma Awards (the Finnish Grammys) in 2005 - the best debut album and the best new act
* Best Finnish band at the NRJ Radio Awards 2006
* Commercial Radio Stations' Newcomer of the Year Award in 2005
