lyrics
Singing With My Ghosts
The walls have long crumbled, you’re all in the earth now.
I picture it, see your face as it is,
As much as my mind allows.
But as the chords in my head progress, I call to you.
You rise up, rise up, draw your lips back,
And the chorus starts to come through.
Singing with my ghosts,
The joyous sound of my memories.
Singing with my ghosts,
Across the centuries.
Crows are said to bring death,
They fly away when it’s come.
Who sings in The After?
It’s left to us, it’s left to us.
But when my voice trails off,
What happens when we forget?
My darlings departed,
Strings break on the marionette.
Singing with my ghosts,
The joyous sound of my memories.
Singing with my ghosts,
Across the centuries.
[Coda]
