I am the ghost   Of haunting hope   A trailing phantom   Some withering wisp of smoke   Slipping by   And these are my words   Flung through the sky   Trailing red like a cape   Longing to fly   On this, their thirteenth try   This prison of mine   Is to carry alone   The light of one red sun   Beneath my skin   And never, ever go home   To watch the ravens fly   So very far, far away      Fortress of solitude   I'll stay here, I'll make you all believe   And if my words have forked no lightning   Never shall I sleep again      With sickening speed   Red hearts on blue sleeves   The bullets of your words   could scarcely set their teeth into me   Bu I am made frail   In one single bound   My traitorous soul   Stings me so far down   Without a sound   To watch the ravens fly   So very far, far away      Never going to stop, not a break in my stride   Never let this cancer eat from inside   Raise the flag high with fists to the sky   I'll finish this, or this is good-bye   Spies, to the right set their claws to kill me   Lies from the left clasp their jaws on the guilty   I'll break free. I'll break free   Just you watch me   So discouraged,so dismayed   See the poison, dripping from their blades   There is lightning, left in these words   I will still fly, rising with the birds   I have carried the sun in my skin   I cannot stop, I can not win   Forked tongues, forcing me to kneel   As if I was no man made of steel   What if these weak words, that I have tripped on   Sing that I am the last son of Krypton?   I hate you all. I hate you all   This will never sleep
