Cave of Phantoms

When you're out beyond the pale
Hear the far off sirens wail
And this life don't measure up
Real life ain't real enough
Light your candle
Put it in my window

When you're all but obsolete
And you're wallowing in defeat
And you long for some kind of grace
Something they can't take away
Hold on tight
I'll meet you in the mornin'

When the sun will meet the sky
Set the heavens all alight
Take a look before it's gone
Nothing really lasts for long
All the cities and walls
I'd see 'em all burn for you

In the shade of the poplar tree
On the high noon's whispered breeze
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me

When the gallows are being built
You can see from your window sill
All the things you might've done
Burning up in the morning sun
Come evening time
We'll be swingin'

The night is ours lets not forget
We haven't lost anything yet
Ain't it all been like a dream
I for one don't care what it means
I'll be alright
They won't break me

When the heart is overflowed
With a joy no vessel can hold
Everything comes back to you
Just the way you want it to
Like a water winds
To the ground that's breaking

In the shade of the poplar tree
On the high noon's whispered breeze
By the banks of the river falling
On the line where the star's revolving
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
