Ghost in the Moon

Ghost in the moonlight Throw your veil upon these grounds Cold The night is star-bright Pale is all beauty of your gown Dark, frame a fire Mystery of a blood red rose Dark Shine sapphire You won't leave me on my own 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 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 Lost in this world - with no place to go 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 star-bright golden gloom: Ghost in the moon Whispers sounding from the brake Sinister eyes along the way A phantom rushing through the night Make haste, run from the dawn Back across the Rubicon To the shelter from the light 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 They teach you love, they make you belong...

Ghost in the moonglow Throw your gown upon the light Ghost in the moonglow Whisper from the starlit skies Dark - frame a fire Mystery of a blood red rose Moon - spark a fire You won't leave me on my own
