lyrics

I drift through nights unnoticed
Unshackled and depraved
I light an evening votive
I behave as wind behaves

As a shape without form
As a form without name
A still life in a broken frame
There's a hollowness here
It is always the same
As a ghost of 20th century fame

Interned in the past
Some things aren't meant to happen
Nor are they meant to last

It is done although
You and I should know
And my former name -
A ghost of 20th century fame

We had to watch it happen
You've watched it happen, too
Some things cannot be mentioned
Some tasks must be seen through

There are sounds to absorb
There are voices below
That no living mind can no
There's a pain felt within
And a quickness of breath
For those condemned to outlive death

Interned in the past
Some things aren't meant to happen
Nor are they meant to last

It is done although
You and I won't know
And my former name -
A ghost of 20th century fame
