The Phantom - Soilwork

I live to awake you

You son of time

As soon as I see you

You draw the lines

Through chambers of delusions

Your nurturing shadow

You give me closure and shelter in fire

A keeper of our needs

To wallow in secrets

You hold no dignities

And redeem the speechless

Prey on my mind

Tell me I’m there

To rejoice in my misery

Take my side, let me find

The abyss that I’ve faithfully designed

The world is a snake and thou tongue is vile

It swallows your guilt, but then you die

I’d rather speak with the phantom inside

I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need

…Now ruptured and sunken

The surface still bleeding but I’ll just pretend that I have seen

…A world beyond

The night is still cold and I’m still deceived

But in the phantom I believe

I live to awake you

You son of time

As soon as I see you

You draw the lines

I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need

…Now ruptured and sunken

The surface still bleeding but I’ll just pretend that I have seen

…A world beyond

The night is still cold and I’m still deceived

But in the phantom I believe
