Lord Of An Empty Place

Eldritch


I'm here in 
I'm living 
I'm dreaming 
But you can't see me at all 
I'm walking close to the wall 
I'm here in 
My breathing is my screaming 
A half concealed look's my boldest 
Approach to you 

I talk barely 
I wake up early 
8 hours fairly 
with spiders of silent pain 
weaving cold webs in my brain 
I hold on still I long 
For the dusk to come 
Like after the longest war 
A knight on this way home 

Lord of an empty place 
Reign of one alone 
Sham is the only home 
I'm feeling friendly 
I'm feeling my own 
Lord of an empty place 
Reign of chill and ghosts 
Stage with the curtain down 
Where I play the main role 
But no one's there to applaud 

I've grown old 
Thought my world's so cold 
Since i fold myself round na icy core 
I don't know what I'm living for 
If only I'd showed you 
How much I loved you 
I'd be lord in real world too 
A king for the time with you 

Lord of an empty place 
Reign of one alone 
Sham is the only home 
I'm feeling friendly 
I'm feeling my own 

Lord of an empty place 
Reign of chill and ghosts 
Stage with the curtain down 
Where I play the main role 
But no one's there to applaud 

Take a bow, a roaring crowd 
Walls come crashing down 
Raise your eyes 
And find you're just all alone 

Lord of an empty place 
Reign of one alone 
Open or closed it be 
No one at the window 
No one knocking at the door 
Lord of an empty place 
Reign of chill and ghosts 
Stage with the curtain down 
Where I play the main role 
But no one's there to applaud
