If I had a face, if I had a soul If I had a name I'd take control But my fate is dust and my heart is cold Not much a ghost can trust, not much a ghost can hold
Without love or land I'm a hopeless stranger I can barter heaven and fear no danger Death and sorrow are a worm away But I can't go bad, I'm beyond decay
I won't fade or wither like a tainted rose Whoever God delivers I can't disclose A curse receding, day turns to night My latent pleasure, dark nights delight
Desires hidden resist fatigue Stifled passions bring forth disease And I deluded in my ghostly realm Render foul fair in the feature film
If I had a form, if I had a mind If I'd been born in space or time The gloomy dusk beneath the gleam In flesh or shadow, I'd move unseen
