| Hey Phantom Hey phantom You got some kind of news for me? Hey phantom Those high rollers got their eyes on me? You try not to shiver, And they�ve won � Now surely you�ve no interest In silver-plating a victory For the high rollers� Hey phantom You want to play the blues for me? Hey phantom Those pretty girls see right through me? Wouldn�t I die to have them wreck my salvation With a bittersweet taste of their lips And seal the fate of a dying man With an apocalyptic kiss? Hey phantom Were you tempted to stay behind and fight? Hey phantom You think that match will last you all night? Did you see the fire on the horizon Feeding on your former selves� embers? Did you falter and fall prey to the nihilists Who awoke from discordant slumbers? Hey phantom You want to bring me solace in my solitude? Hey phantom You want to subjugate my fortitude? I�ll open the floodgates, if only for an instant, But it�s all you�d need to overcome me I�d die in my ethereal resting place �Neath the lightning and the stricken trees (c) 2002 troubled phantom publishing onward backward |
