Like corpses on the tide
like corpses on the tide
do you see the little ghost?
drifting through and endless mass
like a sea of floating souls
faces, bodies, drifting past
do you hear the little ghost?
invisible to all around
her screams are tearing out her throat
no one hears her make a sound
Like corpses on the tide
i feel you all drift away
i watch the world go by
still i stand here, i remain
do you feel the piercing gaze
coming from the little ghost
she sees right through your steel facade
and lays bare your ugly soul
she watches everything you do
and still she reaches out her hand
but all of you just look right through
the little ghost, alone she stands
like corpses on the tide
i feel you all drift away
i watch the world go by
still i stand here, i remain
in this ocean of lost souls
the little ghost is weeping
and the bodies float on by
silent, as if sleeping
at last the little ghost
sinks down into the womb
of the silent ocean
that is to be her tomb
and like corpses on the tide
i feel you drift away
i watch the world go by
and still i stand here, i remain
someday you'll be aware
that there was a little ghost
who was willing to be there
when you needed her the most
if you weren't so blind
if only you had known
when the hounds of hell were close behind
she could have saved your soul
and like corpses on the tide
she felt you drift away
she watched the world go by
and no longer she remains
do you see the little ghost?
drifting through and endless mass
like a sea of floating souls
faces, bodies, drifting past
do you hear the little ghost?
invisible to all around
her screams are tearing out her throat
no one hears her make a sound
Like corpses on the tide
i feel you all drift away
i watch the world go by
still i stand here, i remain
do you feel the piercing gaze
coming from the little ghost
she sees right through your steel facade
and lays bare your ugly soul
she watches everything you do
and still she reaches out her hand
but all of you just look right through
the little ghost, alone she stands
like corpses on the tide
i feel you all drift away
i watch the world go by
still i stand here, i remain
in this ocean of lost souls
the little ghost is weeping
and the bodies float on by
silent, as if sleeping
at last the little ghost
sinks down into the womb
of the silent ocean
that is to be her tomb
and like corpses on the tide
