Mid-dark thoughts of the great tombstone
All I loved I loved alone
The second son of a setting sun
Scores to settle one by one

Years of love have been forgot
Years of trouble years of draught
Years of ever gently tapping
On your chamber all for naught

And every ghastly apparition
Claims to be the soul I'm missing
Even though I keep on saying
That chair is empty now

Can't you see, can't you see?
That chair is empty now
Can't you see, can't you see?
That chair is empty now

Life is phantasmagoria now
And every shadow is reachin' out to me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me

By a shore of silver ashes
Where a sea of sorrow crashes
There is someone who remembers
Someone who bears my resemblance

Someone who has all the seeming
Of a ghost forever dreaming
And when I call it always answers
"I cannot tell you anything"

And every ghastly apparition
Claims to be the soul I'm missing
Even though I keep on saying
That chair is empty now

Can't you see, can't you see?
That chair is empty now
Can't you see, can't you see?
That chair is empty now

Life is phantasmagoria now
And every shadow is reachin' out to me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me

Can't you see, can't you see?
That chair is empty now
Can't you see, can't you see?
That chair is empty now
That chair is empty now
Life is phantasmagoria now

Life is phantasmagoria now
And every shadow is reachin' out to me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me
Life is phantasmagoria now
And all that's left is the stranger part of me
