I woke up tomorrow and the colors were all dull

I was stuck with gnawing headache, like a drill put through my skull

And it seemed just to get stronger, I had never felt such pain before
On this ocean of confusion, I heard an unknown voice

I was lost in my delusion and I never had a choice

Because this was the sound of reason, this was what I had been chosen for


He poisoned me that moment when he stepped right up from hell

You see, no man has a perfect and impenetrable shell

He got me while I slumbered, he got me while my guard was down
Sensing his perfection, I had never felt so small

He said, "Open you eyes", and I stepped right through the wall

To the far side of the fences, I had never been that far from home


Awake my ghouls

They stain my soul

They preach my doom

They raise my tomb


Corpse Candles, 
Embrace me, keeps me awake

Who will sleep well tonight

Corpse Candles,
Within me, leading astray

As I follow the light


The scenery is changing, and I know what happens then

As I see things through this doorway that was never ment for men

And I sympathise with Dante, although he of course was wrong about hell


And I will call out for mercy, and my guide will show me grace

While he leave me in control again, for now in any case

And I fall right to the floor, the floor of this very god damned cell
Awake my ghouls

They stain my soul

They preach my doom

They raise my tomb


Corpse Candles, 
Embrace me, keeps me awake

Who will sleep well tonight

Corpse Candles,
Within me, leading astray

As I follow the light


Silent morning, never-ending days and dreaded nights

And what use is there for colors if the room is naked white

But I know that it's nothing compared to this inner custody


The sun is but a memory, the moon is never up

And my head is like a highway where the traffic never stops

At least I'm not all lonely, at least he keeps me company
