Lyrics
In the dark he waits (he waits) And the swamp, it holds his silent stride He's watching, biding time (that time) His moments close, Shrek's got you in his sight [Verse] Green shadow moves in Keeper of his fairy-tale frontiers In the mists he grins (he grins) Lurking close, so close you feel his breath He's ready, this is it (this is it) Your fate entwined, in ogre's hands of stealth [Verse] He prowls the marshland A tale of might wrapped in layers deep Mysteries in his lair, where secrets keep (they keep) Guarding well, Shrek's quest is never light In shadows, he's your shield (your shield) You never know when Shrek might choose to leap [Chorus] With an ogre's roar, the night comes alive A hero or a beast, in his eyes, a twisted gleam Feel a tremble in the ground (the ground) As he moves without a sound Eyes wide open, hold your breath (hold it tight) In his grasp, there's no more light [Verse] Twist of fate, under moon's eerie glow Brave or fool, the story unfolds (unfolds) When the stars gleam (they gleam) He emerges from his once peaceful sleep Your heart beats loud, racing time (racing time) As Shrek's shadow looms, his legend steep [Verse] Through the fog he strides Ogre of a land where tales come true In the dampened night, where whispers weave (they weave) Silent giant in the dark's embrace (embrace) Heartbeat in your ears, a pensive throb (that throb) An ogre's hunt, in the quiet, he'll race (he'll race) [Chorus] This is where myths rise, and legends loom The eerie calm before the storm
