Ghost in the Moon

Lyrics

[Intro] Ghost in the moonlight Throw your veil upon these grounds Cold! The night is starbright Pale is all beauty of your gown Dark, frame a fire! Mystery of a bloodred rose Dark! Shine sapphire! You won't leave me on my own [Verse 1] Raised my head above the haze I woke up to a world I feel almost humanized Tender loving all around Apparently profound Through self-deceitful eyes [Verse 2] Now, what am I supposed to be? For sure, it can't be me In orderly array My, it's feeling so unreal How daunting to be free In the light of day [Pre-Chorus] Lost in this world With no place to go [Chorus] Awaiting the night To yell a prayer up to the starlight Veiling boon: Ghost in the moon Grant me admission tonight Into your tenebrous, wicked starbright Golden gloom: Ghost in the moon [Verse 3] Whispers sounding from the brake Sinister eyes along the way A phantom rushing through the night Making haste, run from the dawn Back across the Rubicon To the shelter from the light [Verse 4] Before the sun is gonna rise To reflect it in their eyes A sight no one's gonna stand Oh, your blood is gonna freeze Different blood: A different breed No one's gonna comprehend [Pre-Chorus] They teach you love They make you belong... Suck you in to spit you out The rage is on... [Chorus] Awaiting the night To yell a prayer up to the starlight Veiling boon: Ghost in the moon Grant me admission tonight Into your tenebrous, wicked starbright Golden gloom: Ghost in the moon [Post-Chorus] Like a rushing thunder You're a shade in the swampland And a Trojan horse They'd rowel into your dreams They chase you into dawn To a silken bed of quicksand Rush, so you can breathe, they'll give you up You're in my world past remedy [Bridge] Asking, wondering, look at me: Waiting... prompting... I may be drawn to something That I can't phrase for you Even though it's true I won't be what they long to see in me No matter how desperately They reach out for me, a sedating hand They don't understand, I don't comprehend I can't take no more of their shallow light Burning me inside Then I am better off a scorn in the night [Bridge 2] I am rumour, I am nightmare That I'm bound to dream myself Half human, and it's frightening To just guess the other half I'm a misfit on a journey And I'm afraid my destiny Has been sealed right from the outset: To immure the real me I'll wane in this world Just me and the glow of the moon Yeah, wow [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 5] For the chill of the night Is gonna summon a fire A strange world on the brink Or a maniacal dream? Dead matter alive: heart, soul, and desire Rise from the smoke and the fire From maniacal dreams Crucible-born and unseen Megalomaniacal dream Megalomaniacal dream [Chorus] To chase the... Ghost in the moonglow Throw your gown upon the light Ghost in the moonglow Whisper from the starlit skies [Outro] Dark, frame a fire Mystery of a bloodred rose Moon, spark a fire You won't leave me on my own
