[00:07.97] Ghost of Mother
[00:11.62] Lingering death
[00:16.16] Ghost on Mother's bed
[00:22.66] Black strands on the pillow
[00:26.11] Contour of her health
[00:31.05] Twisted face upon the head
[00:37.33] Ghost of perdition
[00:40.90] Stuck in her chest
[00:45.49] A warning no one read
[00:52.01] Tragic friendship
[00:55.57] Called inside the fog
[01:00.25] Pouring venom brew deceiving
[01:44.25][01:13.85] Devil cracked the earthly shell
[01:45.59][01:15.39] Foretold she was the one
[01:47.67][01:17.31] Blew hope into the room and said:
[01:49.33][01:19.19] "You have to live before you die young"
[02:05.52] Holding her down
[02:09.06] Channeling darkness
[02:13.60] Hemlock for the Gods
[02:19.74] Fading resistance
[02:23.29] Draining the weakness
[02:27.81] Penetrating inner light
[02:34.68] Road into the dark unaware
[02:41.31] Winding ever higher
[04:24.09] Darkness by her side
[04:27.81] Spoke and passed her by
[04:31.71] Dedicated hunter
[04:35.54] Waits to pull us under
[04:39.33] Rose up to it's call
[04:43.14] In his arms she'd fall
[04:46.85] Mother light received
[04:50.75] And a faithful servant's free
[05:56.05] In time the hissing of her sanity
[05:59.76] Faded out her voice and soiled her name
[06:03.45] And like marked pages in a diary
[06:07.45] Everything seemed clean that is unstained
[06:11.28] The incoherent talk of ordinary days
[06:15.07] Why would we really need to live?
[06:18.83] Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
[06:22.80] What you should take and what to give
[06:38.44] Ghost of perdition
[06:43.44] A saint's premonition's unclear
[06:48.56] Keeper of holy hordes
[06:53.71] Keeper of holy whores
[07:28.17] To see a beloved son
[07:31.59] In despair of what's to come
[07:37.72] - music -
[08:18.90] If one cut the source of the flow
[08:21.05] And everything would change
[08:29.07] Would conviction fall
[08:30.77] In the shadow of the righteous
[08:39.25] The phantasm of your mind
[08:41.25] Might be calling you to go
[08:49.53] Defying the forgotten morals
[08:51.46] Where the victim is the prey
