Three Ghosts Songtext
von Vanden Plas

Cold the night
Cold December
Cold when it′s coming over me
Cold as ice
Painting crystals of my ghosts
On the ceiling of my dream

Every night they're falling
From somewhere out of time
Underneath the surface of my mind

One by one, like from a distant sun
From an outer wasteland
One by one, they speak a different tongue
The three lunatic spacemen

Cold the night
Cold December
Cold, every night they come again
I close my eyes
But wide awaken as they climb up the stairs
Into my sleep


Every night they′re waiting
Underneath my bed
Is it real or just inside my head

One by one, like from a distant sun
From a foreign graceland
One by one, they speak a different tongue
The three lunatic spacemen

And my phantoms rising there beside my bed
Like a fragrance vaporizing in my head
Mighty strong and scary like an incubus
First they are eating souls and then the rest of us

Now they know my hideaway
And they know my face
Unearthly whispering: "Gideon Grace"

Number One is Breather
Two Life-eater
Three The Fright
May death cut the final threat
Of my speech here tonight - here tonight
Here tonight


One by one, like from a distant sun
Here they come and find me
One by one, they speak a different tongue
The three lunatic spacemen

One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
