Ghost in the Moon

Ghost in the moonlight

Throw your veil upon these grounds

Cold, the night is star-bright

Pales all beauty of your gown

Dark, frame of fire

Mystery of a blood red rose

Dark, shines the fire

You won't leave me on my own

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

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

Lost in this world

With no place to go

Waitin' the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight

Veiling boom, ghost in the moon

Grant me admission tonight into your tenebrous wicked star-bright

Golden gloom, ghost in the moon

Whispers sounding from the brake, sinister eyes along the way

A phantom rushing through the night

Makin' haste, run from the dawn, back across the Rubicon

To the shelter from the light

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

They teach you love

They make you belong

Suck you in to spit you out

The rage is on

Awaiting the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight

Veiling boom, ghost in the moon

Grant me admission tonight into your tenebrous wicked star-bright

Golden gloom, ghost in the moon

Like a rushin' thunder, you're a shade in the swampland

And a Trojan horse they're roll 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

Askin', wonderin', look at me waitin', promptin'

I may be drawn to somethin' 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

Burnin' me inside then I am better off a scorn in the night

I'm rumor, 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 of 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, whoa

From the chill of the night, just 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

Megalo-maniacal dream

Megalo-maniacal dream

To chase the ghost in the moon-glow

Throw your gown upon the light

Ghost in the moon glow

Whisper from the starlit skies

Dark frame of fire

Mystery of a blood red rose

Moon, spark a fire

You won't leave me on my own
