GHAST LYRICS

1. Club Bearer

Linger in cleft
I wait for traveller
Strike them with iron club
Strike them and bring them death

Murder and robbery
Strip them of all I fancy
Leave them hidden
For wild beasts to eat
Rich or poor
Weak or strong
Scare you to death
AMBUSH

Drift into the spider house
And hear me not until I am upon you
These paths are foreign to you
Fight or flight
I will bash you

A coward I am
But this knowledge makes me angry and frenzied
In the instant I pound you
I will feel nothing
The guilt will come when I rest
And consume me until I am a deadly wreck

2. Grave Cult Woe

And so it was that shivering and filthy among the pits, pelted by rain and blinded by wind, we travelled to ??? with the dead.
The sage led us here to study the rot. Streams flow past and in their snaked inflictions the expressions are more austere.
To drink of the sadness and hush down below. The silence ??? us and gave the gift of sight.
Of other places separated by death and ??? with blood.
The torches were lit, our faces revealed: mirrors to begin breathing the smoke of elders.
We lie with the ancestors and witness the grief, the world.
Marked by their dust, the moon signals that the ritual is done.
When the thorns have pierced our tongues and the blood has been spat upon love and the colour is red, the abyss of death is coated anew.

3. Demons That Fled The Ferocity Of Men (Rehearsal)

We had left a life of merciless death for something we had glimpsed in dreams.
A place we could sleep unarmed and fear could be left to the past. We drank away our memories, fucked and kissed goodbye our scorn.
In secrecy and ritual we smashed our swords and buried our names. But those whom we’d left behind needed only to see a face.
So they brought their steel upon us. So we let death into our hearts and slew our foes where they stood and left their corpses at that place.
Towards more vultures, hate sheathed to the waist and death in our hearts where it has always belonged.
Amidst blood forever; I knew the sword was hatred and most fierce vengeance is all.

4. Crawl, Blighted And Afraid (Live)

To the findred lost of hope
I speak these words:
A war will come
And we will cry in pain.

Should we see the other side,
There will be no new dawn.
Reason will still be blighted by pain
And dreams will still be so distant.
Peace will mock those who crawl
And fear will rise once more.
