The Black Ghost

If something there went wrong,
then it has gone quite well.
This movement gave the wrong impression
of the things they had to sell.

People only saw an outside,
and we were the outsiders.
And with this wrong perception,
a movement becomes violent.

a movement becomes violent ... (x2)

As the artists get slaughtered
on the exhibition floor,
a lot burning books
and a lot of closing doors

We tried not to feel
anger nor hate
But when we see that all is lost
it could be too late

it could be too late ... (x2)

But like a Phoenix rising from the garbage
you've put us into.
Like dogs that took too much beating,
we could turn against you...

Now, this is why we move slow,
so we can not be seen,
from the sewers to the apartments
and the places we have been.

The places we have been ... (x4)



No no no no no no no
You don't feel like
anyone I want to know

You don't show a sign to go
and If you stay here
everything in me turns slow

I need air and wind to blow
but like a Horla,
you take away my flow.

Here I am in Time again
denying myself what I want most
a dusty picture of what once was
an empty shell, a fat white ghost.

No no no no no no no
You don't feel like
anyone I want to know

I need air and wind to blow
You don't show a sign to go
everything in me turns slow
Like the Horla, did you see that show?


There's someone in your apartment
you hear him whisper in your ear
with the same characteristics as the one who called you "dear"

You try to run away, but the lights have all turned out
And you try hard not to panic,
You try hard not to shout.






If something there went wrong,
then it has gone quite well.
This movement gave the wrong impression
of the things they had to sell.

People only saw an outside,
and we were the outsiders.
And with this wrong perception,
a movement becomes violent.

a movement becomes violent ... (x2)

As the artists get slaughtered
on the exhibition floor,
a lot burning books
and a lot of closing doors

We tried not to feel
anger nor hate
But when we see that all is lost
it could be too late

But like a Phoenix rising from the garbage
You've put us into
Like dogs that took to much beating,
we could turn against you...

Now, this is why we move slow,
so we can not be seen,
from the sewers to the apartments
and the places we have been.

The places we have been ... (x infinitum)
