- - - THE LORD OF THE PHANTASMAGORIA - - -
So many sights I have seen
And so many places I’ve been
But still I am blind
To the inner chambers of your heart
I am but a ghost within the haunted lantern
Was trapped inside with the howling phantoms
When the dark creeps into your bedroom nightly
I cast the light unto your walls
To chase the shadows away
From the streets of Pandemonium
To the mines of Moria
I will be there, yours truly
The Lord of the Phantasmagoria
I was sealed in iron wrought
When fallen angels’ soul were caught
Salt from bitter tears
Tempered my eternal imprisonment
I was enticed inside by smell of nightshade
A wicked soul condemned to be remade
Crucified and denied my restful sleep
I cut the dark on your walls
To chase the demons away
On the streets of Pandemonium
To the mines of Moria
I will remain, forever
The Lord of the Phantasmagoria
There’s nothing we can’t overcome
Within the darkness
And where we’re from
The lightbringer, the morningstar
I am there for you
What evil awaits without me
To hold your hand through the night
Beyond the light
The beasts and howls
But fear not
I lay kiss upon your brow
From the streets of Pandemonium
To the mines of Moria
I will be there, yours truly
The Lord of the Phantasmagoria
On the streets of Pandemonium
To the mines of Moria
I will remain, forever
The Lord of the Phantasmagoria
There’s nothing we can’t overcome
Within the darkness
And where we’re from
The lightbringer, the morningstar
I am there for you
