Lyrics to Visitation



[Spoken:]

At war with myself, and took it to the street

Another grey afternoon of the soul



Infinite repetition with no end in sight

Karmic Debts from another life I am starting to

remember

A little here, a little there, Mitrochondrial memory

Up the twisting ladder

I recognized you instantly



Although we’ve never met, something in your eyes

From so many thousands years ago

I was never young, and neither were you



[Man:] Who the hell are you?

[Strange voice:] You know who I am

[Man:] Are you who I think you are?

[Strange voice:] Yes



I am here!

You know me!

Here I am!



I was half asleep or was I half awake?

Pressure from my chest, impossible to breathe



I forced my eyes to look

And you are all I see

Speaking in thoughts, boring into me (I’ve lost it)



[Strange voice:] You wanted to make a deal, so here I

am, well…

[Man:] I didn’t mean it, this is not what I asked for

[Strange voice:] Well, you said it, and now I am here!

Be careful what you wish for



I am here!

You know me!

Here I am!

I know you!



[Strange voice:] Be careful what you wish for



Infinite repetition…
