I am the ghost
Of haunting hope
A trailing phantom

Some withering wisp of smoke
Slipping by
And these are my words

Flung through the sky
Trailing red like a cape
Longing to fly

On this, their thirteenth try
This prison of mine
Is to carry alone

The light of one red sun
Beneath my skin
And never, ever go home

To watch the ravens fly
So very far, far away


Fortress of solitude
I'll stay here, I'll make you all believe
And if my words have forked no lightning

Never shall I sleep again

With sickening speed

Red hearts on blue sleeves
The bullets of your words
could scarcely set their teeth into me

Bu I am made frail
In one single bound
My traitorous soul

Stings me so far down
Without a sound
To watch the ravens fly

So very far, far away

Never going to stop, not a break in my stride

Never let this cancer eat from inside
Raise the flag high with fists to the sky
I'll finish this, or this is good-bye

Spies, to the right set their claws to kill me
Lies from the left clasp their jaws on the guilty
I'll break free. I'll break free

Just you watch me
So discouraged,so dismayed
See the poison, dripping from their blades

There is lightning, left in these words
I will still fly, rising with the birds
I have carried the sun in my skin

I cannot stop, I can not win
Forked tongues, forcing me to kneel
As if I was no man made of steel

What if these weak words, that I have tripped on
Sing that I am the last son of Krypton?
I hate you all. I hate you all

This will never sleep
