The Phantom

Lyrics

[Intro] I live to awake you You son of time As soon as I see you You draw the line Through chambers of delusions Your nurturing shadow You give me closure and shelter in fire [Verse 1] A keeper of our needs To wallow in secrets You hold no dignities And redeem the speechless [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] I live to awake you You son of time As soon as I see you You draw the line [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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
