Witch Image Lyrics

You (you...) have never stood this close
To where you want to be
You (you...) have always waded in the shallows
Between me and the deep blue sea

You would never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
You never want it to reach out to the edge of time

While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done you cannot undo

I (I...) have always kept you closer
Than you have known
I (I...), I am riding in the shadows
Behind you on a pale white horse

You would never want me to appear
You never want this to be over

Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done you cannot undo
While you sleep in earthly delight
Still, your soul will suffer this plight
Like your father in hell
What you've sold you cannot unsell

While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you've done you cannot undo
While you sleep in earthly delight
Still, your soul will suffer this plight
But like a mother would save
Her own child from digging a grave
