Ghost of a Soul

Way down to heaven
your needless resource
Is a forecast of cruelty and dismay
Cast into mirrors
An ambush on its course
You are blemish, frailty and decay
Will I get at something
Will I ever be complete
Build by dust — born to slave away
Taste an angel's lifeblood
So pure and bittersweet
Built of nothing — born to decay
chorus:
Deep in my mind there rests the ghost
Of an innocent soul
Capped by darkness and dismay
Out of these depths
I slay so cruel and so confident
Will I ever be set free
Lust prevails my temper
Endless rapture turns to grief
A silent scream which fraudulent arises
Without shelter, your wounds lead me to lambency
Spouts truth above your lies
Step by step, piece by piece
Cut by cut, we reach the end together
repeat chorus
Take this cloak from me — your offer I will not embrace
A failure once for me — not to be driven into hate
Will I ever be set free
Will I ever be complete
Will I ever be set free
Will I, can I, ever be complete?
repeat chorus
Come set me free
