Ghost of Mother
|
||
|
Lingering death
|
||
|
Ghost on Mother's bed
|
||
|
Black strands on the pillow
|
||
|
Contour of her health
|
||
|
Twisted face upon the head
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ghost of perdition
|
||
|
Stuck in her chest
|
||
|
A warning no one read
|
||
|
Tragic friendship
|
||
|
Called inside the fog, uh
|
||
|
Pouring venom, brew deceiving
|
||
|
|
||
|
Devil cracked the earthly shell
|
||
|
Foretold she was the one
|
||
|
Blew hope into the room and said:
|
||
|
"You have to live before you die young"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Devil cracked the earthly shell
|
||
|
Foretold she was the one
|
||
|
Blew hope into the room and said:
|
||
|
"You have to live before you die young"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Uh, holding her down
|
||
|
Channeling darkness
|
||
|
Hemlock for the gods
|
||
|
Fading resistance
|
||
|
Draining the weakness
|
||
|
Penetrating inner light
|
||
|
|
||
|
Road into the dark unaware
|
||
|
Winding ever higher
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ha ya ya ya ya ya

|
Darkness by her side
|
||
|
Spoke and passed her by
|
||
|
Dedicated hunter
|
||
|
Waits to pull us under
|
||
|
Rose up to its call
|
||
|
In his arms she'd fall
|
||
|
Mother light received
|
||
|
A faithful servant's free
|
||
|
|
||
|
In time the hissing of her sanity
|
||
|
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
|
||
|
Like torn-out pages in a diary
|
||
|
Everything seemed clean that is unstained
|
||
|
Incoherent talk of ordinary days
|
||
|
Why would we really need to live?
|
||
|
Decide what's clear and what's within a haze
|
||
|
What you should take and what to give
|
||
|
|
||
|
Uhh!
|
||
|
Ghost of perdition
|
||
|
Saint's premonition's unclear
|
||
|
Keeper of holy hordes
|
||
|
Keeper of holy whores, uhh!
|
||
|
|
||
|
To see a beloved son
|
||
|
In despair of what's to come
|
||
|
|
||
|
If one cut the source of the flow
|
||
|
And everything would change
|
||
|
Would conviction fall
|
||
|
In the shadow of the righteous?
|
||
|
The phantasm of your mind
|
||
|
Might be calling you to go
|
||
|
Defying the forgotten morals
|
||
|
Where the victim is the prey
|
||
|
Ha!
|
||
|
|
||
