Witch Image - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]

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'd 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've known

I (I)

I am riding in the shadows

Behind you on a pale white horse

You'd 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
