Ghosts Of War Lyrics

Have you ever seen the stars through the cloth covering your face

Have you ever heard the trumpets resound through the ground

Has nothing changed in the world today, has nothing changed at all

All that we fought for, is it still the same shadow?

All our deaths are becoming vain, all that hate, it's still the same

The same...

Where's the change?

Where's the peace?

Where's the change?

Where is all that we fought for?

Brother, I know you are weary

I know you have questions

I know you ́ve bled, I've bled too

Did we both bleed for the ghosts of war

What was all that blood for?

I see them marching, long lines of women and men

Young girls, young boys, all stained with blood

They are rising into the sky, they are coming home

Their tired hearts are filled with hope

But the question still linger in their faces

What was all that blood for?

Can there not be peace? Can there not be freedom?

Must there be hate? Must there be fear?

Can we not go side by side into the future?

Can we not live side by side at all?

Or will this world break?

It's a song coming from below, a solemn ghost within the crowd

Singing his tears at the world

A song of grief, a song of joy

A song of love, of madness, a song of unbearable loss

His notes reaches down from the heavens, touches every heart on that wicked earth

And for one moment everything is quiet, for one moment everyone finds their peace

A few simple words tells a story everyone can believe

Can you hear me?

Through the night

Come follow me, come sing with me

We can defeat the night

Raise your voices, raise ém all up high

Scream into the night

Can you hear me?

Through the night
