Haa, wait a minute
I know that face!
Hey I remember vaguely
Shame, I may be mistaken
But you were in my dreams
I know you as it seems
Hey on the 27th
Say, we were up in heaven
A chill came over me
You know me as it seems
From this nightmare
Gargoyles smile, they're pets of evil
Locust swarms are gathering
Careful as you watch where you step
The world will hold its breath
I've been waiting a lifetime
This odyssey seems eternal
Forbidden fruit ruins the order
Time after time repeating mistakes
Wasting away like tears in the rain
He will be mine
Come rain or shine
I've been waiting a lifetime
So here we are again
One pure and one condemned
We shouldn't have come this far
But little did we know then
We're from worlds apart
I'm ready to give up
Surrendering all to you
Forget about my legacy for you
Please meet me half way there
Who watches the watcher?
Who makes the rules up there?
You own the light
I own the creatures of the night
They sing hosanna to the sound
Of a requiem for a ghost
13:18 you seek the answer in between
Within the lullaby you sing
It's a requiem for a ghost
A requiem for a ghost
It may not be too clear
What I've done I've done for you
The wrath was just a game
Now finally you see me
In the darkest night
You seem so far away
Is something on your mind?
Two wrongs don't make a right
The world needs you
But I need you much more
Who watches the watcher?
Who makes the rules up there?
You own the light
I own the creatures of the night
They sing hosanna to the sound
Of a requiem for a ghost
13:18 You seek the answer in between
Within the lullaby you sing
It's a requiem for a ghost
A requiem for a ghost
A penny for your thoughts
I've been waiting a lifetime
Our father in heaven
Hallowed be the name of
Your kingdom, your glory
Forgive us, forgive us
Thy will be done, but first he will be mine
Do you fear the dark as I fear the living?
Will the lies unfold
For good, for bad
In life, in death
For good, for bad
In life, with me you'll be free
Time after time repeating mistakes
Wasted away like tears in the rain
Time after time
The world in my hands
Who watches the watcher?
Who makes the rules up there?
I own the light
You own the creatures of the night
They sing hosanna to the sound
You own the light
I own the creatures of the night
They sing hosanna to the sound
Of a requiem for a ghost
13:18 You seek the answer in between
Within the lullaby you sing
It's a requiem for a ghost
A requiem for a ghost
I've been waiting a lifetime
Hey I remember slightly
Shame it was all too swiftly
'Cause I was in your dreams
You know me as it seems
From your nightmares
