Soilwork – The Phantom lyrics
[Verse 1]
I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the line
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus:]
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 (The night is still cold)
And I'm still deceived, but in the phantom I believe
[Bridge]
I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the line
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the line
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus:]
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 (The night is still cold)
And I'm still deceived, but in the phantom I believe
[Bridge]
I live to awake you
You son of time
As soon as I see you
You draw the line
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
