Witch Image
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You (you)
Have never stood this close to where you want to be
You (you)
Have always waded in the shallows
Between me and the deep blue sea
You'd never want me to appear
You never want it to be over
You never want it to reach out to the edge of time
While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done you cannot undo
I (I)
Have always kept you closer than you've known
I (I)
I am riding in the shadows
Behind you on a pale white horse
You'd never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done you cannot undo
While you sleep in earthly delight
Still, your soul will suffer this plight
Like your father in hell
What you've sold you cannot unsell
While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done you cannot undo
While you sleep in earthly delight
Still, your soul will suffer this plight
But like a mother would save
Her own child from digging a grave
