Kamelot - Poetry For The Poisoned - Incubus lyrics

There was a time when I was young A boy with bold ambitions There was a time when I could tell the crooked from the wicked one There was a song that someone sung A hint of recognition There was a time I knew you well enough to know you won't be gone [Chorus:] Come with me tonight Tell me how it feels to be alive There was a time I had respect A name of reputation There was a time when I could watch myself without being disgraced [Chorus:] Come with me tonight Let us find a place where we can hide [Chorus:] Come into the light Let me show you how we stay alive [Instrumental] [Spoken:] The word "incubus" means "to lie on", and it was believed that any feeling in bed, such as a weight pressing down on your chest, especially accompanied by nightmares, was a sure sign that an incubus had attempted to have a nocturnal intercourse with you. Given the religious fervour of the Middle Ages, it is not altogether surprising that the idea of a demon lover was believed to account of this phenomenon.
