"Haunted" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their fourth album October Rust, released in 1996. It is a mystical song about Peter's love affair with the spirit of his girlfriend. The slowness of the instrumentation with piano creates a haunting atmosphere (hence the title), as if the song itself was inhabited with the spirits from beyond.

The soundtrack to the video game Descent II includes an instrumental version of "Haunted".

Lyrics[]

A swollen sun melting at the horizon
Between the sheets I wait for her to come

A living flame, impossible to resist
Burning me deep with every bite, kiss and lick

Oh I'm haunted
Oh I'm haunted
Oh I'm haunted (by her)

Invades my sleep with tumescent intentions
Hades I'm sure must be missing a demon

I
I hate the morning
I
I hate the morning

From the panes a green mist swirls
Is it a shadow of reflection?
This apparition in moon beams bathed
A voice like wind through trees beckons
Cool rain on hot summer stone
The odor fills my presence
Of freshly dug grave and death and night
These things are her essence
Nocturnal mistress, spirit lover
Your mouth of wine and woodsmoke taste
My goddess of the violet twilight
You are lust incarnate
In the sweat of my bed
The eastern sky hints of dawning
Alone and awake but exhausted I lie
Oh how I hate the morning

I hate
I hate the morning (light)
I
I hate
I hate the morning (light)

I hate
I hate
I hate
(Morning light)

[Choir]
