Ghost Walking Lyrics

Do you remember
When word was bond
A fleeting promise on the light of the dawn
Barren December
Under a falling sky
The end of days and a reason to die

Obliteration never looked so divine
Holding your breath for the moment in time

You lived through hell
Now you're trying to die
The skin is healed
But you're bleeding inside
Shots fired just to numb the pain
There's no one left to save

Night blind on a shining path
Ghost walking in the aftermath
Hypnotized sixty cycle hum
The broken cadence of a distant drum
Twenty-one to one I'm liking the odds
A blood junkie with a lightning rod
A dirty rig and a heavenly nod
And still you wind up nowhere

Obliteration never looked so divine
Holding you're breath for the moment in time

You lived through hell
Now you're trying to die
The skin is healed
But you're bleeding inside
Shots fired just to numb the pain
There's no one left to save

There's no one left to save
There's no one left to save

You chase the dragon but it followed you home
You lost through fever dreams and broken hope

Decimation never looked so divine
Promising yourself for the very last time

You lived through hell
Now you're trying to die
The skin is healed
But you're bleeding inside
Shots fired just to numb the pain
There's no one left to save

There's no one left to save
There's no one left
A fever dream,
There's no one left to save
Shots forever end the pain
There's no one left to save.
