The Phantom Hero

Ever notice the unseen
Stop to dwell on the serene?
I spend most my life in a dream
Not everything is as it seems
We look at the set but not at the backstage
We dwell at the cover instead of the pages
There is work at place in your very soul
In fact, I can tell it's taking its toll
Living your life with no hinges
I watch as an outsider cringing
There is a guardian on the fringes
Protecting your heart from the syringes
The watcher is guarding your back
Your soul is under attack
The demons begin to hack
They start to slash
And your mind crashes
Left with thousands of lashes
And multiple gashes
Left with nothing but ashes
This is the time of victory
The time to restart the story
And return the king to His glory

The phantom hero has an ever-ready eye
If you're looking for him, peer up to the sky
He will never mistreat you or lie
And believe me, the end is nigh

The fight for life can't be won alone
And it's too long to pout or moan
The fighter inside of you is strong
He's been around for very long
The struggle that started from the beginning
All because we all couldn't stop our sinning
The serpent peels our flesh and is skinning
He's fighting for our souls and he's winning
Look at the apathy of the generation in this nation
We don't even care about time or creation
Stuck in our silly games and manipulations
Living life trying to avoid contemplation
The easy times provide no life lessons
Whereas the hard times keep us guessing
Make us rely on something that's greater
Hoping that we meet the end sooner or later

The phantom hero has an ever-ready eye
If you're looking for him, peer up to the sky
He will never mistreat you or lie
And believe me, the end is nigh

I need more knights in these dark nights
I need less nights with these dark knights
Deciphering between black or white
Deciding between wrong and right
I need to regain my sight
So I can finally feel alright

The phantom hero has an ever-ready eye
If you're looking for him, peer up to the sky
He will never mistreat you or lie
And believe me, the end is nigh
