Ghost in the Moon
[Intro]
Ghost in the moonlight
Throw your veil upon these grounds
Cold! The night is starbright
Pale is all beauty of your gown
Dark, frame a fire!
Mystery of a bloodred rose
Dark! Shine sapphire!
You won't leave me on my own
[Verse 1]
Raised my head above the haze
I woke up to a world
I feel almost humanized
Tender loving all around
Apparently profound
Through self-deceitful eyes
[Verse 2]
Now, what am I supposed to be?
For sure, it can't be me
In orderly array
My, it's feeling so unreal
How daunting to be free
In the light of day
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in this world
With no place to go
[Chorus]
Awaiting the night
To yell a prayer up to the starlight
Veiling boon: Ghost in the moon
Grant me admission tonight
Into your tenebrous, wicked starbright
Golden gloom: Ghost in the moon
[Verse 3]
Whispers sounding from the brake
Sinister eyes along the way
A phantom rushing through the night
Making haste, run from the dawn
Back across the Rubicon
To the shelter from the light
[Verse 4]
Before the sun is gonna rise
To reflect it in their eyes
A sight no one's gonna stand
Oh, your blood is gonna freeze
Different blood: A different breed
No one's gonna comprehend
[Pre-Chorus]
They teach you love
They make you belong...
Suck you in to spit you out
The rage is on...
[Chorus]
Awaiting the night
To yell a prayer up to the starlight
Veiling boon: Ghost in the moon
Grant me admission tonight
Into your tenebrous, wicked starbright
Golden gloom: Ghost in the moon
[Post-Chorus]
Like a rushing thunder
You're a shade in the swampland
And a Trojan horse
They'd rowel into your dreams
They chase you into dawn
To a silken bed of quicksand
Rush, so you can breathe, they'll give you up
You're in my world past remedy
[Bridge]
Asking, wondering, look at me:
Waiting... prompting...
I may be drawn to something
That I can't phrase for you
Even though it's true
I won't be what they long to see in me
No matter how desperately
They reach out for me, a sedating hand
They don't understand, I don't comprehend
I can't take no more of their shallow light
Burning me inside
Then I am better off a scorn in the night
[Bridge 2]
I am rumour, I am nightmare
That I'm bound to dream myself
Half human, and it's frightening
To just guess the other half
I'm a misfit on a journey
And I'm afraid my destiny
Has been sealed right from the outset:
To immure the real me
I'll wane in this world
Just me and the glow of the moon
Yeah, wow
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 5]
For the chill of the night
Is gonna summon a fire
A strange world on the brink
Or a maniacal dream?
Dead matter alive: heart, soul, and desire
Rise from the smoke and the fire
From maniacal dreams
Crucible-born and unseen
Megalomaniacal dream
Megalomaniacal dream
[Chorus]
To chase the...
Ghost in the moonglow
Throw your gown upon the light
Ghost in the moonglow
Whisper from the starlit skies
[Outro]
Dark, frame a fire
Mystery of a bloodred rose
Moon, spark a fire
You won't leave me on my own
Ghost in the moonlight
Throw your veil upon these grounds
Cold! The night is starbright
Pale is all beauty of your gown
Dark, frame a fire!
Mystery of a bloodred rose
Dark! Shine sapphire!
You won't leave me on my own

Tender loving all around
