Lyrics Kamelot – Poetry For The Poisoned – Incubus

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

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.
