Lord of an Empty Place - Eldritch

I’m here in

I’m living

I’m dreaming

But you can’t see me at all

I’m walking close to the wall

I’m here in

My breathing is my screaming

A half concealed look’s my boldest

Approach to you

I talk barely

I wake up early

8 hours fairly

With spiders of silent pain

Weaving cold webs in my brain

I hold on still I long

For the dusk to come

Like after the longest war

A knight on this way home

Lord of an empty place

Reign of one alone

Sham is the only home

I’m feeling friendly

I’m feeling my own

Lord of an empty place

Reign of chill and ghosts

Stage with the curtain down

Where I play the main role

But no one’s there to applaud

I’ve grown old

Thought my world’s so cold

Since I fold myself round an icy core

I don’t know what I’m living for

If only I’d showed you

How much I loved you

I’d be lord in a real world too

A king for the time with you

Lord of an empty place

Reign of one alone

Sham is the only home

I’m feeling friendly

I’m feeling my own

Lord of an empty place

Reign of chill and ghosts

Stage with the curtain down

Where I play the main role

But no one’s there to applaud

Take a bow, a roaring crowd

Walls come crashing down

Raise your eyes

And find you’re just all alone

Lord of an empty place

Reign of one alone

Open or closed it be

No one at the window

No one knocking at the door

Lord of an empty place

Reign of chill and ghosts

Stage with the curtain down

Where I play the main role

But no one’s there to applaud
