Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I'm in despair
The wind is in the trees
Basically just waiting for something to come along and eat me
[Verse 2]
Is this future's gate?
Where my dreams are freed
All my memories are just memories of memories
[Verse 3]
And I folded in a dream
Pitch black and glowing blue
A Raven saying, I know a way and that I can help you
[Verse 4]
I stared into his eyes
I saw my pale last day
Said what you can't escape, you've gotta embrace
[Verse 5]
I know a way to get back
This don't have to end
[Verse 6]
A way to get back
And haunt them, haunt them, haunt them
[Verse 7]
Then he wish me plain
As he flew away
Said he'd seen them coming on a pair of aztecs
[Verse 8]
And he wished me plain
Ordinary death
Said he'd be back after I escape death
[Verse 9]
Oh
[Verse 10]
I seen how they are
How they all sell their soul
In little bits and pieces till the get old
[Verse 11]
And they don't make a dent
Given indifference
It'll haunt them, haunt them, haunt them, haunt them
[Verse 12]
But I want to go back
If this is the end
[Verse 13]
I wanna go back
Not to haunt them
Not to haunt them
Not to haunt them
[Verse 14]
Haunt, haunt them
