Each day she wakes and asks the same thing:

Who will I be today? Who does the world wish to see?

She wears a mask of beauty like a radiant queen

And one by one, she fools them all

It's second nature to her as she crawls

Through the depths of hell in her soul

Mercurial perversions take hold

Before your eyes she morphs into the mould

The shapeshifter dances as she takes new form

Carefully constructing her deceit

The pretty lies for greedy eyes that feast upon the fake

Entertain us and enchant us, they all cry

Naked as ambition calls

A demon of desire as she falls

Through the depths of hell in her soul

Mercurial perversions take hold

Before your eyes she morphs into the mould

The shapeshifter dances as she takes new form

Scratch the surface just to find decay

The remnants of a dream fading away

She's just ashes and dust

From the bonfire of the vain

Beneath the cloak of night

Like a snake, she sheds her skin

Revealing all her scars

The duality of who we really are

Shapeshifter

A demon in disguise

Shapeshifter

With fire in her eyes

Shapeshifter

Saint or sinner?

You'll never catch her as she flies into the night

Looking for the heaven in her soul

The endless search for peace consumes her whole

Hopeful hearts that harden and grow cold

The shapeshifter dances and dances

And dances, in the depths of hell in her soul

Mercurial perversions take hold

Before your eyes she morphs into the mould

The shapeshifter dances as she takes new form
