Shadow Gallery - Haunted lyrics
rate meBetween the whispers<br />
A lonely candle flickers and it slowly fades<br />
Into it's grave<br />
And as if knowing<br />
Enchantment slowly runs her fingers down my spine<br />
A jagged line<br />
<br />
Who waits for me<br />
Now who waits for me<br />
Who waits so long so long so long<br />
<br />
And shall I wait for dawn won't come<br />
Or shall I sink into myself<br />
<br />
All is disquiet<br />
A dark assassin spirit draws back from the room<br />
Time folds in two<br />
I've vexed him surely<br />
I'm ravaged by my need for light<br />
It's all I feel all I see<br />
I live and breathe and cry and die<br />
For love<br />
<br />
And shall I cast composure down<br />
And shall I wait forevermore<br />
I hear so sorrowful a sound<br />
<br />
Maybe in time I'll fly away<br />
And trade these wings in for a life<br />
<br />
A life where I am stronger and<br />
A place where there's no sleepless nights<br />
Or Moonlit arches cover me<br />
These paintings and these statues stare<br />
Chastised and imprisoned here alone<br />
Under your stairs<br />
<br />
[Guitar solo - Gary]<br />
[Keyboard/Guitar solo - Gary]<br />
<br />
So was it all worth it?<br />
To sing out my song and to scream<br />
I had the fire<br />
The passion and will<br />
My dedication mistaken for disloyalty<br />
I'm lost in the heavens<br />
Statue in time<br />
Like ghosts in a prison<br />
And come undone<br />
<br />
And all those living out their lives in company of riders<br />
Silent and deliberate as they're counting out their coin<br />
I just can't relinquish my opinion that I'm so much different<br />
Insolent their sins have drug them down into the deep<br />
The deep<br />
The deep<br />
<br />
The race not to the swift<br />
The prize she just never fell right to the brave<br />
A long long time ago<br />
And somewhere lost in all the rage<br />
I was just a brush stroke away<br />
And the wind has caught the sails<br />
No one who's ever knelt here before<br />
Has stopped to count up the cost<br />
They're gone gone lost in time<br />
Can love be so indulgent that it blinds you to your faith?<br />
<br />
And in the end the weight is all but lifted off<br />
The stars continue on their course<br />
And you fall away<br />
Fall away<br />
And it all comes around<br />
Another good man goes down<br />
He floods away<br />
<br />
Sorrow cannot bind me like the common thief<br />
I'll come out and I'll shine<br />
Just like a caustic ray of light<br />
<br />
All of the raised here the choirs alive<br />
It's just a matter of words spoke<br />
Out over the river of time<br />
<br />
Gone off to war or gone off to hate<br />
You see me brandish the torch and<br />
The sword of your fate is real<br />
<br />
I walk alone through the spiritless void<br />
All account of my love oh<br />
My sweet flowing love lost in vain<br />
On and on... and on and on
