The Ghost In You
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 awoke in a burning paperhouse
From the infinite fields
Of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiannamen
An eyewitness in a shroud
To see them fall, feel them yield
Relieving the terror of the crowd
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Just for a moment, I seemed to know
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you
The whisper of your scream
Sighed through the air
And faith - the flag is torn and frayed
Inferno heat, glory in flame
Love was beaten and betrayed
In every step I hear your sobbing
Dare I break the shade with one caress?
Dare I trespass to lift the veil
To touch the lips so soft and frail?
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you
Your captive heart, the belief you share
With a kiss eternal, the spirits of the square
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Hope remains with the ghost in you
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you
Don't let it blow
The ghost in you
The ghost in you
