It was you there in my dream last night when violent storms drew near Your presence with them startled me; I never knew such fear I heard a putrid piercing scream, it shook my very core The heavy whispers all around did captivate me more The room grew hot with fever but the air in cooling chill The fear of all uncertainty did fade in beckoned willThe church bells in the distance did then begin to chime One, two, three o'clock I began to count the time Four, five, six o'clock It echoed all around Seven, eight and nine o'clock That dreaded deafening sound Ten eleven twelve o'clock The midnight hour cold But to my horror heard it - Thirteen times did it toll!
The silence then was silenced by a cackle in the dark The hour seemed to linger; an eternity did pass And suddenly it whispered - my senses came alive That voice; its stirring murmurs sent shivers down my spine
"A lonely path I paved once; a walk in timeless air I made my choices long ago and now doth linger there I lie beyond your consciousness; I'm neither there nor here You would not know me even now: I am who they call fear I breathe the wretched and the damned; the living cannot see And only in the thirteenth hour can ever I walk free But soon my time will be none and I will be no more The devil now has other plans for my soul to explore
When I was just a little boy who too had haunted sleep Of restless dreams of solitude and voices that did speak And finally the night fell - I took that voices hand, he lead me out of sadness in that happy home I had The childhood I had stolen by the world before my time I soon regained that little boy, the playground now was mine
I lived inside my shadow, and watched the living grow The hated, scornful world I left I did not miss it so But as I watched my heart broke, and soon began to see The wicked poison virtue of the beaten - Just like me
I saw the reason voices did take me long ago They call me El un denominado Condenado So now my time has brought me here to choose who will replace The solitude of shadow - a name without a face I met my destiny in you, as that voice met in me We are two alike my dear, Take my hand and see
The world is full of mutiny; I too did learn through tears Our innocence forsaken by those wicked in their years Life is an illusion of what we wish to be So leave delusions, take my hand, make haste and follow me"
I reached into the darkness to the light he held so close And in his hands I found that little girl I missed the most I dance among the stars within the shadows that you see, and in the night I beckon all the damned ones - Just like me |
