Working alone in the silent night
Suddenly I catch a glimpse, that does not stay
Of the one past, the partner I did betray
Shivers my spine and sends me fright
Oh the lies, my own lies
Images and memory strip my conscience bare
Oh what winds that send this specter to my den
As I'm haunted by my dearest friend
It grows dark dense dank and deadly in the air
It catches me by surprise
Appears again and hovers there
Oh my own temptation, temptation of greed
That is why the ghost does still bleed
Frozen with guilt, how could I dare
To look into its eyes
"A mere illusion" I said to the surrounding stones
I tried and tried to believe it
My weak heart having such a fit
This haunting thing, It puts fear in my bones
The ghost does terrorize
My conscience does burn and glow
As I fall down upon the floor
Its eyes burn into my bosoms core
And everything fades I seem to know
that I shall never rise.
