The Phantom
I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the lines
Through dreams of delusions
Your nurturing shadow
You give me closure and shelter in fire
A keeper of our needs
To wallow in secrets
You hold no dignities
And redeem the speechless
Prey on my mind
Tell me I'm there
To rejoice in my misery
Take my side, let me find
The abyss that I've faithfully designed
The world is a snake and thou tongue is vile
It swallows your guilt, but then you die
I'd rather speak with the phantom inside
I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need
Now ruptured and sunken
The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen
A world beyond
The night is still cold (the night is still cold) and I'm still deceived
But in the phantom I believe
I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the lines
I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need
Now ruptured and sunken
The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen
A world beyond
The night is still cold (the night is still cold) and I'm still deceived
But in the phantom I believe
In the phantom I believe
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the lines
Through dreams of delusions
Your nurturing shadow
You give me closure and shelter in fire
A keeper of our needs
To wallow in secrets
You hold no dignities
And redeem the speechless
Prey on my mind
Tell me I'm there
To rejoice in my misery
Take my side, let me find
The abyss that I've faithfully designed
The world is a snake and thou tongue is vile
It swallows your guilt, but then you die
I'd rather speak with the phantom inside
I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need
Now ruptured and sunken
The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen
A world beyond
The night is still cold (the night is still cold) and I'm still deceived
But in the phantom I believe
I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the lines
I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need
Now ruptured and sunken
The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen
A world beyond
The night is still cold (the night is still cold) and I'm still deceived
But in the phantom I believe
In the phantom I believe
