Ghosts of Nations Lyrics

See the heart still beating inside

Rip it out and tear it apart

Take aim at the foundation

Make walls collapse and structures fall

No mercy upon a zeitgeist so decadent

Was it indifference or antipathy?

So asked the ghost of a nation

This rampant devolution

It beckons a new reckoning

Be the fuse to the powder keg

Wipe the slate clean

As above, so below

Are we deeply flawed reflections?

Are you free or a commodity?

Ask the ghost of your nation

Their dreams devoured their souls

From a new beginning, re-emerge new dreams

Hear the echoes linger inside

Screams endlessly bouncing off walls

Of this unhallowed cathedral

Forsaken like those buried outside

Each body, an untold story

Of an unlived life ruined

Forever in pursuit of the promise

Of the one who made it up

Dust on the altar

A reminder of the time lost

Serves as a warning

To those who think faith has no cost

Sole survivor, soul redeemer

On a crusader's conquest

Lay waste to reveries

Let nightmares resurface

Their dreams devoured their souls

Of ones subservient to the whole

From a new beginning, re-emerge new dreams

Their dreams devoured their souls

Of ones subservient to the whole
