The Ghost of a Stranger Lyrics

Album: Akeldama

Infatuated with the corpse

An exact imafe of what it was just a moment ago

A ball gag suppresses the last breath that it ever took

My body is bathed in the warmth of blood

Never though that it would

Have kept me warm on the very fateful Night

But not I know those screams were not of pain but they were my ecstasy

It's white skin is illuminated under pale moonlight

Remisiscent of fresh snowfall

The patterns formed by shadows and it's hair make each square inch unique

My lips still burn from the last time I uttered it's proper name

Those thin wrists seem to melt in my hands

My flesh on it's flesh with gravity on my side

I should, but wont, tread lightly on it

My garments lay in shreds with the last of my humanity

Brushing the hair from it's face I am locked into a dead stare

It's open pupils act as a mirror and they a reflicting back at me

Not who I am but, what I have become

I pledge allediance to this husk, giving it all that I've got

Pushing my power in

And absorbing it's life as mine, becoming one with it

I unclasp the ball gag and inhale it's death
