Faded
Invisible is what I am
Lost in the shadows of the midnight world,
Mysteries of the twilight
Sweep by me like forgotten pearls.
An eternity ago it now seems to me
My spirit flowed like molten flesh and fire
Passionate then, my senses aflame
I was overcome with mortal death and desire.
Now my soul is cold, my heart is dead,
Spirited away by the lost call of the haunted
Pale as glass, as distant as ether,
They see through the heart that I so long ago flaunted.
There is no more need for an invisible soul
Everyday I am confined to the cell in my mind.
When autumn leaves blow, over the calm smooth lake,
I'll depart from this world with not so much as a glance behind.
Slowly, like sand I fade away,
Slipping to the next realm with gentle ease,
Until I am no more than a ghostly whisper
Borne above the dying breeze.
Like? R n' R please!
