I woke up in a dark ally sweating
along ally narrow broke down with age
with distance sounds of a life echoing along
walking curiously as time passes
Vibrant years the old man says in a whisper
passing by his ghost was just a flicker
Who are you I shouted out
With an evil grin and now a long snout
Not who I am but who I was with a shiver
No turning back now with another whisper
Just an old man stuck in time dreaming of the life
that will shatter with a whisper
