Haunted

Morning sunlight fills my eyes.

Awake again I can't describe

What I've seen in the moonlight

On that cold November night.

On my way home, working late

Past the rusted manor gates

That's where I saw her standing,

Like frost suspended tree.

Taken away, my world shakes

Fallen to ash, my soul breaks

Moments of time escape from me,

Shattering all reality.

Eyes of an angel frozen

Beckoning closer, chosen

Trying to scream, but I can't speak

Embrace my fear, but don't know why.

This beauty that I see

Caught on the other side, I long to set it free.

Now she calls to me

Lead me through the dark I'm not afraid, no.

Leave this world behind, step into the dark and free my soul.

It's haunting me through all my dreams.

So it happens every night,

Taken by the other side.

All desires so fulfilling,

Passion burning through my mind.

And it's driving me insane,

Staying here, this mortal plane,

Now that I've tested wonders

From beyond eternal grave.

What's going on, this can't be

Stolen my heart, how could she?

A spirit, that's all, it's nothing more,

Scattering dust laid on the floor.

Eyes of an angel frozen,

Taking my soul, I'm chosen.

Do I stay here in longing,

Or face my fear and take my life?

And as I'm standing in the frozen air,

Waiting for death's embrace to take me far from here.

The time of crossing is approaching close at hand.

Now I succumb to the temptation, her command.

So, it's come for me

Walk through the mirrors of mortality

See the world behind

Death unites us all in the end for all time.

And now it comes, the end of days,

Awaiting all to turn the page.

I have no fear, 'cause I believe

This afterlife is just another dream.
