[Verse 1]
G#m E/G#
The planets are shaking their heads at the earth
F# D#m E
Oh what has become of their sister in blue
G#m Emaj7
Don't be deterred, agent provocateur
F# D#m E
As you parade while you know someone's aiming at you
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
People's backstreet ways fall into place
E
Tokens to be found
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# D#m
They track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
B D#m
Make your choice, they wanna make you raise your voice
G#m7 Esus2
to fight for a change: It's always the same
B D#m/A#
And what if this life is feeling like a world of bliss to you
E F#
And you don't feel like going against the grain today
[Chorus 1]
A#m F# G# D#m
I believe
F# C#/F G#
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
A#m G#/C Fm F#
To defy defiance and swallow evil
G# D#m
Here come the shadow eaters
A#m F# G# D#m
I believe
F# C#/F G#
although you shouldn't watch them without safety glasses
A#m G#/C Fm F#
They strike at sunrise, Angel squad
G# D#m
Here come the shadow eaters
[Verse 2]
G#m E/G#
One hundred seventy five zillion and three thousand eight
F# D#m E
Hundred and twenty nine lives in history approximately
G#m E/G#
Laid at the door of Him who never knew and if He did
F# D#m E
I'm not quite sure that He would quite have agreed
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
backstreet ways, into place
E
Tokens to be found
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# D#m
track down lies, antagonize the decoy
[Pre-Chorus]
B D#m
Chase down grief to wallow in and make believe
G#m7 Esus2
You ain't gonna win whatever way: We're all gonna die
B D#m/A#
Mean and sly, and somewhere in between there's life they say
E F#
But if we're not made to overshadow black?
[Chorus 2]
A#m F# G# D#m
I believe
F# C#/F G#
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
A#m G#/C Fm F#
To defy defiance and conquer evil
G# D#m
Here come the shadow eaters
A#m F# G# D#m
I believe
F# C#/F G#
you don't see'em with or without safety glasses
A#m G#/C Fm F#
They strike at sunrise, Angel battalion
G# D#m
Here come the shadow eaters

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