a night time ride with spectres
i live in a mental graveyard
everything dies so fast

from beyond she calls to me
i meet her in the mist
an ethereal form that forever taunts me
with the impossiblity of one last kiss

through the dead forest of dreams
we dance, dreading the dawn
for the hateful kiss of sunlight
sends her fleeing back to hell

my days spent, sleepless
pacing, waiting for dusk
so that, once more, i can feel alive
