[Verse 1]
D#m B/D#
The planets are shaking their heads at the earth
C# A#m B
Oh what has become of their sister in blue
D#m Bmaj7
Don't be deterred, agent provocateur
C# A#m B
As you parade while you know someone's aiming at you
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
People's backstreet ways fall into place
B
Tokens to be found
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# A#m
They track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
F# A#m
Make your choice, they wanna make you raise your voice
D#m7 Bsus2
to fight for a change: It's always the same
F# A#m/F
And what if this life is feeling like a world of bliss to you
B C#
And you don't feel like going against the grain today
[Chorus 1]
Fm C# D# A#m
I believe
C# G#/C D#
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
Fm D#/G Cm C#
To defy defiance and swallow evil
D# A#m
Here come the shadow eaters
Fm C# D# A#m
I believe
C# G#/C D#
although you shouldn't watch them without safety glasses
Fm D#/G Cm C#
They strike at sunrise, Angel squad
D# A#m
Here come the shadow eaters
[Verse 2]
D#m B/D#
One hundred seventy five zillion and three thousand eight
C# A#m B
Hundred and twenty nine lives in history approximately
D#m B/D#
Laid at the door of Him who never knew and if He did
C# A#m B
I'm not quite sure that He would quite have agreed
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
backstreet ways, into place
B
Tokens to be found
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# A#m
track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
F# A#m
Chase down grief to wallow in and make believe
D#m7 Bsus2
You ain't gonna win whatever way: We're all gonna die
F# A#m/F
Mean and sly, and somewhere in between there's life they say
B C#
But if we're not made to overshadow black?
[Chorus 2]
Fm C# D# A#m
I believe
C# G#/C D#
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
Fm D#/G Cm C#
To defy defiance and conquer evil
D# A#m
Here come the shadow eaters
Fm C# D# A#m
I believe
C# G#/C D#
you don't see'em with or without safety glasses
Fm D#/G Cm C#
They strike at sunrise, Angel battalion
D# A#m
Here come the shadow eaters

Gm D# F Cm
I believe
D# A#/D F
Don't think you'll ever see them with your naked eye
Gm F/A Dm D#
And they're tired of showing off on demand
F Cm
They are shadow eaters
Gm D# F Cm
I believe
D# A#/D F
although we never see them, cause they fly from reason
Gm F/A Dm D# F
Tiny but forceful, I tell you
Cm
Those shadow eaters
