Feel a sudden chill that makes your skin crawl?
Easy now, don’t be afraid
I’m just a lonely ghost curled up inside you
Aching to heal the lonely broken heart I once betrayed
But there’s nothing that I can do - the wound is deep
Phantom fingers try in vain
But they can’t touch your splintering heart
I breathe your pain
And haunt in silent vigil,
‘Til death bells do us part.

Roaming through the streets on winter soulstice
Funny how the snow feels warm
Kneeling on the lake, my fists are bleeding
Raging to find a way to spin the clock before the storm
But there’s nothing that I can do to change the past
Just a ghost in a human coat
Among the dregs I join in the cast
Of shadow plays
I play a stupid a vampire
Biting my own throat.

I float through the darkness
And stir the heart of night
With anger made of sadness
This Dutchman takes his flight
The sirens cast their curse
With songs of glitter and doom
And with every poisoned verse
I lie awake, unexhumed,
Haunted by dreams of mirrors.

Smashing my head against the walls of my tomb
Feeding the orchids with my blood ‘til they bloom
The roots suck me dry
But my heart’s still yearning
Aching for warmth from her candle burning
Echoes of the sadness
In the songs of Rose Hill’s ghosts
Call in the dead of night for me to follow
Lost in the labyrinth of my broken mind
Solving the jigsaw in a storm, but I’m blind
Wayward, standing at the crossroad
Mourning shooting stars that burned and died alone
Beacons blink across the half-light
Morse-coded path through the wasteland
A firefly leads me home…

Conjure me - the ghost that would be blind
Lost within the labyrinth of his mind
Cast away, the kaafir kalb will roam
Lost my way - the blizzard is my home
Capture me to shelter from the storm
Fracture me and let me be reborn
Can I flee the shadow carnival?
Can you free a ghost intangible?
Can you heal a wounded animal?
