The Outsider

By Argus

A life in solitude, this desolate keep my home

Wandering corridors of damp and crumbling stone

Outside the trees in grotesque twilight groves

Blot out the sun whose light has never warmed my soul

Through ancient brooks the world beyond me has been bared

And longingly I dream I've joined the living there

And though no mirrors cast a reflection of my own

I look upon myself as kindred to these souls

(Solo - Mike)

And now desire overtakes my fearful heart

I cast eyes upon the castle's tower dark

I'll scale these treacherous walls to reach the world above

To take my place among the joyous in the sun

(Solo - Jason)

Into the night air out under the moon's shining light

In search of laughter and reveling I now take flight

Onward now I fly! Onward now I fly!

Into the town from the windows the merriment flows

Seeking companionship through yonder doorway I go

All eyes turn to me...in horror all now flee

Demon, Demon - curse the night!

Mirror, Mirror - it is I!!
