In the shadows of my empire
In the dimness of my realm
I am rolling like the heavy thunder
I am tolling like a bell
This is how I live outside the body
This is feeling without heart
And I am bound to the voice who whispers
Well this is who you are
So with pencil and knife
I carve and describe
The truth and crimes of my secret life
In the shadows where I linger
In the kingdom I command
There is less than you imagine
But more than I can stand
Saints and angels run for cover
And I am standing here alone
Like a newborn on a rolling freight train
And a stranger in our home
So with pencil and knife
The tools true and tried
I carved and describe
My secret life
Nothing else is gonna satisfy me
Like the way I disappear
Send a messanger to come and find me
So I can get to you from here
So with pencil and knife
The tools true and tried
I carved and describe
My secret life
In the shadows of my empire
Down a path I can't define
Are the signs to direct you
To my secret life
My secret life
My secret life
