The ghost Xperiment - Awakening - 2019

VP








Cold December Night

I was eleven days old
They found me dead in the forest
Down by a source on the 1st of December
My name is Gideon Grace and by a mysterious wonder
I came back to life under skies burned like amber
Life is calling my name
Pouring impure daylight in my eyes

And I run into the sunlight on a dark eternal lane
To the rough St. Malo seaside from a cold December night

I was eleven years old
Deep in my heart it was winter
Many strokes shattered my skin
And my soul was aching
I´m the king of broken world
And I had to shield my angel Ivy
Every day hurts us but still we´re not breaking
They burn down children´s heaven
And see the fiery ashes of our skies floating down

So we run into the sunlight on a dark eternal lane
From the rough St. Malo seaside on a cold December night
We were starting in a new life
While still running from the pain
To seek and hide away forever on the day before she died

And so I´m leaving the place called suicide playground
Where children die on the monsters lullaby
Who stole the light from the orphan asylum
The sangrail-thieves of the night
They never bring back the soulshine again
Sweet oblivion come erase my memories
That keep the wolves outside
And all these silent cries in my mind
Under the moon that pales all the colours of my soul
Only our dreams held us alive
But most of the dreams went out with the light
How many hearts broke in the night
And how many tears before we die
And so we run and so we run
And so we´re running for our lives

And we run into the sunlight on a dark eternal lane
From the rough St. Malo seaside on a cold December night

The Phantoms Of Prends-Toi-Garde

Rush away from hell
Run for your life a long long way
To find a place to feel secure
Afar the house
Where love´s betrayed
And the seekers in the night
Waiting for their burning pitch
To rain down on me again
Dark shadows of the past do befall me

No one take away the pain
Wash my soul in burning rain

Soul aviators from hell
Wash away the tears
The silent fears the dried up blood
Gideon Grace - ceci est mon nom
Hanté par mes démons à Prends-Toi-Garde
And the caracinous skies
Waiting for my life down here to go out

Under rusted iron skies
Fears cut deeper than a knife
No one take away my pain
Wash my soul in burning rain

Soul aviators from hell
Coming to find me
Soul aviators
And they know
I live anxious in the ruins
Of a long forgotten fair
Down in forever darkness wood
Earlkings will find my circus of twilight

Under rusted iron skies
I´m still running for my life
And no one take away my pain
Wash my soul in burning rain

Three Ghosts

Cold the night - cold
December cold
When it´s coming over me
Cold as ice - painting crystals of my ghosts
On the ceiling of my dream
Every night they´re falling
From somewhere out of time
Underneath the surface of my mind

One by one like from a distant sun
From an outer wasteland
One by one they speak a different tongue
The three lunatic spacemen

Cold the night - cold
December cold
Every night they come again
I close my eyes
But wide awaken as they climb up the stairs
Into my sleep
Every night they´re waiting
Underneath my bed
Is it real or just inside my head

One by one like from a distant sun
From a foreign graceland
One by one they speak a different tongue
The three lunatic spacemen

And my phantoms rising there beside my bed
Like a fragrance vaporizing in my head
Mighty strong and scary like an incubus
First they are eating souls and then the rest of us
Now they know my hideaway
And they know my face
Unearthly whispering "Gideon Grace"
Number One is "Breather"
Two "Life-eater"
Three "The Fright"
May death cut the final threat
Of my speech here tonight - here tonight

One by one like from a distant sun
Here they come and find me
One by one they speak a different tongue
The three lunatic spacemen
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one

Devils' Poetry

There´s a time called the twelfth night
When the unseen follow my way home
On these nights just this once
You can find their between world
The churchyard of all the haunting souls
Listen to what I say
Hear the voices on winter days
Resonations of their bitter world

Inside "The Land of the Shadows"
I´ll find "The Shape of Unseen"
Within "The Dreams of a Ghostseer"
These evil poems calling me
This is calling me

Searching trails to the ghost world
No we are not alone
All these lanterns
Are projectors of the city lights
They make my shadow
Dance a waltz with the snowflakes
Or are these portraits of inhuman souls
Zombies ignite my fears
But why for so many years
They´ve got better things to do
Than scare me

Inside "The Land of the Shadows"
I´ll find "The Shape of Unseen"
Within "The Dreams of a Ghostseer"
These evil poems calling me
Some metaphysical writings
From an anonymous author Who wrote: "The Inhabitants of My Diary"
Evil flowers of a necromancy
Are devils' poetry
And this is calling me

Sail on boatsman sail on by
Sweet litany
Is calling me
Open the tides dark friend
To let them in

This is my last chance
They accuse me of a murder
Invade my mind
Misplace my memories
Say that I´m a failure ...
And then they´re sailing away
But I still see them unclearly
They´re sailing away again
I have to follow them tonight

Into "The Land of the Shadows"
To find "The Shape of Unseen"
Within "The Dreams of a Ghostseer"
Their evil poems calling me
And this is calling me ...
Some metaphysical writings
From an anonymous author
Who wrote: "The Inhabitants of My Diary"
These evil flowers of necromancy
Are devils´ poetry
And this is calling me

Fall From The Skies

I lay my body down - get lost and be never found
I´m ready here to die - to bring you back to life
Yes I hope you come alive ...
I hope you come back ... Ivy
I need the box from Grantham Bain
To take a picture when they´re coming back again
To catch their noises in the room
A phonograph from Thomas Alva Edison
I have so many needful things
A spider web of fathoms let manjiras ring
So I´ll detect them in the end
My strange phenomena I´ll find the evidence
I finally start the operation for my Ghost Xperiment
Search a utopian conclusion of all innocence
In this murderland
So I have to repair all the rainbows
They´re tainted with half light

And when they fall from the skies
Dark falling angels as out of nowhere
Like from a tomorrow time
Hold on hold on
But this day will never come

This song it´s all about - how heaven´s burning out
Then a voice on the recorder
And a cold breath kisses my skin
And my astral clingfish ghosttrap
Starts now slowly breathing in
I´ve evolved this new brand to capture
My wicked illusions

And then they fall from the skies
Dark falling heralds as out of nowhere
Like from a tomorrow time
Hold on hold on
But the day will never come

I´m a thrown away sadness
In god´s castaway land
Sealed with a lithophane frailness
And a mindblowing freight in my head
I once lost my sweet angel Ivy
With her disarming cyan blue eyes and I know
That I have nothing to lose anymore
Maybe they or maybe I
There is something behind our rainbows
Now I can see them

And then they fall from the skies
I´ll find the answer to all my questions
And when they fall from the skies
Hold on hold on - Hold on and believe
Hold on hold on - I said
Hold on believe - That today the day has come

The Ghost Xperiment

I am the ghost inside your mind
I´m the phantom
You´ve been seeking for years
So I´m here the evidence
You´ve tried so hard to find
I´m the ghost
Inside your mind
I am your paranormal PSI
You´ve awaited a lifetime

I burn it all I burn it all down
I burn the world I burn it all down
The final storm lifts me up to fly
I´m the ghost inside your mind

I am the ghost inside your mind
Just a fiction that proves all your doctrine
Here I am your paradigm
A god-science consequence
I´m your Ghost Xperiment
I´m a piece of the jigsaw
To see the big picture

I burn it all I burn it all down
I burn the world I burn it all down
The sacred deer sacrificed to die
Somewhere deep inside your mind

I´m a spirit from out of nowhere
A dangerous odic force
Once invisible - I unfold myself
Take good care and ensure that you
Spark a forever glowing votive candlelight
Which is burning the nightflies

I burn it all I burn it all down
I burn the world I burn it all down
The final piece you assay to find
I´m the ghost inside your mind
