- DOWN AGAIN -


It seems the end has come again
Just like a spectre from the past
Malice in the air of despair
I can hear the devil's laugh

Riled up like a voiceless whisper
Screaming across empty vespers
Jaded emerald glasses
Spill onto the unwashed masses

I am down again
Darkness consuming me
One step closer to the grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday

Burn it down again
Fire consuming me
In the ashes of my grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday

When the haunting of the lyric
Fails the moon and the spirit
The serpent spits the venom
Across the face of the demon

I sense the end is drawing near
Harrowing the house of the dead
Lamenting the same grey decay
Or are they just in my head?

I am down again
Darkness consuming me
One step closer to the grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday

Burn it down again
Fire consuming me
In the ashes of my grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday

The moon is blue tonight
Leaving a bittersweet
Taste upon my parched lips
I swear I want some more

I am down again
Darkness consuming me
One step closer to the grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday

Burn it down again
Fire consuming me
In the ashes of my grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday
