Ghost of Perdition

Ghost of mother
 Lingering death
 Ghost on mother's bed
 Black strands on the pillow
 Contour of her health
 Twisted face upon the head
 Ghost of perdition
 Stuck in her chest
 A warning no one read
 
 Tragic friendship
 Called inside the fog
 Pouring venom brew deceiving
 ♪
 Devil cracked the earthly shell, foretold she was the one
 Blew hope into the room and said, "You have to live before you die young"

 ♪
 Holding her down
 Channeling darkness
 Hemlock for the Gods
 Fading resistance
 Draining the weakness
 Penetrating inner light
 Road into the dark unaware
 Winding ever higher
 ♪
 ♪
 Darkness by her side
 Spoke and passed her by
 Dedicated hunter
 Waits to pull us under
 Rose up to its call
 In his arms she'd fall
 Mother light received
 Her faithful servant's fee
 ♪
 In time the hissing of her sanity
 Faded out her voice and soiled her name
 And like marked pages in a diary
 Everything seemed clean that is unstained
 The incoherent talk of ordinary days
 Why would we really need to live?
 Decide what's clear and what's within a haze
 What you should take and what to give
 ♪
 Ghost of perdition
 A saint's premonition's unclear
 
 Keeper of holy hordes
 Keeper of holy whores
 ♪
 To see a beloved son
 In despair of what's to come
 ♪
 If one cut the source of the flow
 And everything would change
 ♪
 Would conviction fall
 In the shadow of the righteous?
 ♪
 The phantasm of your mind
 Might be calling you to go
 ♪
 Defying the forgotten morals
 Where the victim is the prey
