A cheering light I've never seen My days are bleak Sans the serene These ancient walls I never left From balming sleep I've been bereft Solitude has always been my lot Cobwebs and shadows, rats and old toads How long I dwell in here I seem forgot In smell of ages gone and putrid moats There is bitter comfort In my ways that have no sun Through ruins of decay I hunt I am the eidolon I linger on old graves I exist unseen The outcast and the wretched spawn - I am the unclean For in one night I touched the cold And polished glass Thus had insight A fiendish ghoul of gruesome shape and view Stared at me in fright and awe But once I took a closer look I knew The dreadful horror - my self I saw... There is bitter comfort In my ways that have no sun Through ruins of decay I hunt I am the eidolon I linger on old graves I exist unseen The outcast and the wretched spawn - I am the unclean I feast upon the beauty Of things that others shun In netherworlds and crypts I dwell - I am the alien one I wallow in the old world In things that they condemn Through solitude and shadow - The outsider I am
