Macabe (Lai)
veil of shadows cover over my eyes
as the ghost comes closer in disguise
chalice crashes dripping blood like wine
stalking silently behind curtain of lies
creature awaits in the darkness surprise
so ticks the grizzled hands of time
rip out my wings I don't to fly
wallowing in self pity let me die
I'm burning...hold the door...last in line
as the ghost comes closer in disguise
chalice crashes dripping blood like wine
stalking silently behind curtain of lies
creature awaits in the darkness surprise
so ticks the grizzled hands of time
rip out my wings I don't to fly
wallowing in self pity let me die
I'm burning...hold the door...last in line
