Phantom Follow

That those who walk before me fear
For they are there and I am here
Behind the shadows held in fright
They tried to hide inside the light
Accepting lines for truth and fact
It still there's something quite exact

An inborn question left unasked
Afraid to see the face unmasked
And yet within it burns, it gnaws
Still stuck inside those hollow jaws
A victim of a life that keeps

It never gives

It never sleeps
It never sleeps
It never sleeps

Centuries ago I was a young magician
Working for a king
Using all the powers of my magic
I controlled most anything
I could make the mountains walk
Now and then the trees would talk
But now I'm trapped inside of a tree

I don't know what it was but something happened
And I turned the queen to stone
I told my friend the jester
He just turned his heels
And left me all alone

Then my thoughts began to change
My spells began to rearrange
And now I'm trapped inside of a tree

What happens now I'm asking you
What is the meaning of a joke
It seems there's nothing I can do
Emprisoned in the briary hole

Mmm...

Someday I'll break this curse
And that's the day
That Merlin will return

There'll be no place to hide
My vengeance reach you and you'll burn
Now my mind begins to flash
And I can feel my senses clash

Alone I'm trapped inside of a tree
