Selections From Ghost Reveries
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 it's call In his arms she'd fall Mother light received And a faithful servent's free 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 and is unstained The incoherent talk of ordinary days Why would we really need to live? Decide what is clear and what's within a haze What you should take and what to give Ghost of Perdition A saint's premonitions 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 shadows of the righteous The phantasm of your mind Might be calling you to go Defying the forgotten morals Where the victim is the prey

Majesty Faithful me Pour yourself Into me Wield your power Martyr's price Stare me down To the ground The eyes of the devil Fixed on his sinners Slake my thirst Eternal wealth Heathen key Round my neck This poetry Our blasphemy Know the sounds Of infamy The hands of Satan Assembling his flock Pale horse rider Searching the earth Whispering conjuration A belief taken form Choking hand tapping The veins in your throat His orders in your mouth A decree for domination Beneath the tides of wisdom Spins the undertow of hate Injected seeds of vengeance Usurper's eyes on the powerless Clean path to his kingdom Beckoning in the mist Tell me why Love subsides In the light Of your wishes Say my name Ease the pain Clear the smoke In my head
