Ghost in the moonlight
Throw your veil upon these grounds
Cold, the night is star-bright
Pale is all beauty of your gown
Dark, frame a fire
Mystery of a blood red rose
Dark, shine sapphire
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
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 star-bright
Golden gloom
Ghost in the moon
Whispers sounding from the brake
Sinister eyes along the way
A phantom rushing through the night
Make it 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, 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 boon
Ghost in the moon
Grant me admission tonight
Into your tenebrous wicked star-bright
Golden gloom
Ghost in the moon
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
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
I'm 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
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
Megalo-maniacal dream
Megalo-maniacal dream
To chase the
Ghost in the moonglow
Throw your gown upon the light
Ghost in the moonglow
Whisper from the starlit skies
Dark, frame a fire
Mystery of a blood red rose
Moon, spark a fire
You won't leave me on my own
