In my youth the ghost stepped through me
And life was never quite the same
A new dark truth, a cursed recluse
Left choking on the bitter shame
I force it down, down, down to the bottom of my soul
But I still can't hide
Superstition takes control and leaves me numb and paralyzed
And now I realize
Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning
Lures me in and then devours me
This old ghost erodes what I once called my life
Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light
Hexed and blind in the dusk of life
The shadows stretching over me
The mirror stares back, eyes stained black
The sun my mortal enemy
Screaming why, why, why the ghost she never seems to say
Paranoia burned my soul
And now there's nothing left to take
There's nothing left to take
Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning
Lures me in and then devours me
This old ghost erodes what I once called my life
Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light
Burn me alive in the blinding light
