Man with ghost wanders

Verse 1

Harsh eyes, holding hollow laughter

Two faces in the flame-choked night

Always watching—never speaking

One name, but a thousand fights

Blanket of black draped over my hope

Smoldered hands, charcoaled soul

They never saw either side, neither side

Drifting silent, don't look back

Applause gone, no one claps

Only ash remains

Pre-Chorus

Hiding faces, hiding sins

I’ve worn masks, I’ve shed skins

They call me stranger, call me liar

But I breathe vengeance, revive fire

Chorus

Come closer—the shadow grows

Come closer—nobody knows

I am the furnace, I am the flood

I walk on embers, soaked in blood

Their pleas, their fears, their wasted tears

They burn, they turn, when I arrive

Come closer—the ruin is near

Come closer—feel growing fear

Verse 2

Glass grin cracks while I’m passing by

Scarlet threat in a sweet goodbye

They forget what happened—memory erased

But every step, I keep the pace

I fracture, I scatter, I float through the street

My breath betrays me—too cold, too fleet

Lips never move, eyes always lie

Staggered hearts, haunted hope

Nobody sees the story I wrote

Only the smoke, only the stain

Chorus

Come closer—the shadow grows

Come closer—nobody knows

I am the furnace, I am the flood

I walk on embers, soaked in blood

Their pleas, their fears, their wasted tears

They burn, they turn, when I arrive

Come closer—the ruin is near

Come closer—feel growing fear

Bridge

Ghost in the gutter

Ghost in the hall

Ghost in the gutter

Hear me call

I am fury, I am frost, I am lost

Breakdown

Never saw, never cared

Never weep, never dared

Now they know, too late, too late

Chorus

Come closer—the shadow grows

Come closer—nobody knows

I am the furnace, I am the flood

I walk on embers, soaked in blood

Their pleas, their fears, their wasted tears

They burn, they turn, when I arrive

Come closer—the ruin is near

Come closer—feel growing fear

Outro

Close arriving, close to fire

Now they see me, now they know

Two faced, two souls

Too slow

They’re falling, they’re crawling

Consumed by what I sow
