I drove the highways of a skeleton coast

Salt and sea, tapped mysteries into the keys

I wrote an opus of distorted truths

A symphony to crashing waves of victory

I am a ghostwriter

Pretend I am forever young

I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

Tamerlane, my poor soul in a last refrain

An endless storm rattles on my windowpane

Creaking floors, lost voices of a thousand wars

The fire roars

I am a ghostwriter

Pretend I am forever young

I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

How long can we sing the same old tired songs?

How long can we tread water?

The shore is only getting smaller

I am a ghostwriter

Pretend I am forever young

I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

Waiting for my day to come

To come
