Orphan Gypsy

(album: The Spectre Within - 1985)

Young warrior to the drunken gallery slave
Running with the wind running wayward knave
I'm a vagabond with a maelstrom mind
My blood has left me behind
So go away leave me alone
If you look in my eyes you see only stone
I won't let you in I can lock you out
In your world, your fallacy
I don't want desolate isle of debris

Sister Superior
Witch is on her winged flight
Nightmare dream children scream
Echo Orphanage Hall Tonight
I'm a misconception never had affection
I don't even know my name
Just as well
Who would know locked in the closet all day
But I like it here
They leave me alone
I the sheep, she is the wolf
I must run, run to the end of the world

Orphan Gypsy all I'll ever be
Magic for emotion I am free
Orphan Gypsy all I want to be
Lift your chains from me

No place to call home, sever my roots from
The earth, eternal exile from day one
In this lease of life I entered as one
In the end I leave as one

Not a single word of guile is heard
Come the clouds before the rain
You've entered my sanctum
Blasphemed and caused me pain
You're a figment of my imagination
I am stone
Now you know to the world
I gave my soul to read your mind

Orphan Gypsy all I'll ever be
Magic for emotion I am free
Orphan Gypsy all I want to be
Lift your chains from me
