Wish You Where Here

I'm a wanderer and I wear the mask of mystery
From a prisoner waiting for the last request
When I got the will then I got the chance
He said: certain mistakes of my fiends make the wish fulfilled

Now that I see, I can be free
I will give you all my pain

And I wish you were here
I wish you fear
I wish you well
And that you're burning there in hell instead of me
And I wish you were here
I wish you amen
I cause your all-inclusive pain

All the walls inside try to speak with me
Beautify this spider's home, help the fly to rest in peace
Then I read a plan, kind of bleeding tattoo
Out of words of a murderer like pearls of insane dew

How can I see what he told me?
I try to listen to his pain

And I wish you were here
I wish you're near me
I wish you well
And that you're turning this, my hell into a fane
And I wish you were here
Now I cut out my brain
Before I'll try to understand what you mean

And I follow all the traces
To your long forgotten places
In a ghost ship down the sea, close to holy island
Waits homicide for me, like on morphine
I see all the eyeshots he had
On his long requiem to the end

Why should I see what he wrote there for me?
In his message, I hear poor victims plea

And I wish you were here
I wish you well
And that you're burning here in hell instead of me
And I wish you were here
So give me all your prayers
For the sins I have to pay

I work for I.C.P.O. and some details show me
Not the "plain type," not the "gain type" of a serial assassin
He's not motivated by hedonism
Untypical, no Gilles de Rais
No Bathory, not Jack, so I got the suspicion
He's a man with a clear sagacious mission
