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 From Randy Scruggs "Crown Of Jewels" Reprise Records 1998 Heart Of Hearts Music/Chelcait Music
