GHOST BRIGADE LYRICS

1. Wretched Blues

Walking slowly.
Distilled blood designed to never fail.
Sedate and pure. Cold by choice.
Stylized pain.
I am feeling blue.
Lacerated and swallowed down below.
I was fearless but now I'm screaming scared in nothingness. In this emptiness.
So I let this void to fill up my heart

Of fire and endless resistance.
Where shadows bit like flames.
They sing of fire and endless resistance.
Where echoes call your name.

Medicated and ready.
To accept life.
As it comes and as it ends.
Expectations.
And the highest of hopes.
You're supposed to be happy. When everything around us is alive and green.

Of fire and endless resistance.
Where shadows call your name.
Of fire and endless resistance.
Where echoes bite like flames.

Forevermore.
Hollow men on hollow ground.
Crushed bones and bruising souls.
Multiple substance abusers.

2. Departures

Today all colors are bleeding.
Across the ocean.
I am sorry I couldn't stay.

How does it feel to own what you are.
To unstitch your heart without causing a flood.
To fall but never ceasing to believe.
In light taking over darkness.
To breathe life in serenity.

If only I knew how to forgive.
If only I knew how to let go.
If only I knew how to own what I am.

Galaxies away.
I am riding the waves of the lost.
Lead this ship astray.
Make me hate you again.
Fear, trust, guilt, love.
In the grip of a coming storm.
I am sinking under the weight of a troubled sun.
When bitterness conquered the heart.
And left us crawling in the cold.
Screaming worth a lifetime with a voice of a follower.
Always too soon. Always too late. Always in between.

If only I knew how to forgive.
If only I knew how to let go.
If only I knew how to own what I am.

3. Aurora

Could I be your light, when you are afraid?
Could I be the reason when you're asking why?

I could be a mistress for your lonely nights.
I would give you wings.

I am the gateway.
To another life.
You are on your way.
To a better place.

Descending weight.
Aroused by the warmth.
Like a moth circles the lantern.
You are calling us like a drug. (Like a drug)

Everything is covered in white.
You can hear the silence.
Your heart stopped beating.
But you still keep walking.

Feeling lighter than air.
You are one with the sky.
Now you understand.
You are a frozen star.

Lower your armour.
Release the pain.
Cry like a newborn.
You are free again.
There is no violence.
In surrounding darkness.
There are no laws in this chaos of colours.

This weary burden. Of eternal winter.
Fading away.
Aurora.

4. Disembodied Voices

A fiery rain is keeping me awake.
With every drop killing another promise.
Mind's drifting in nothingness.
Life in circles.
And I know that not so long from now.
Hope will conquer all.

They said time heals.
In a year or so you'll be alright.
Time doesn't heal.
It only makes you forget.
Mind's drifting in nothingness.
Life in circles.
And I know that not so long from now.
Hope will conquer all.

Tomorrow's a way out.
From all of my graves.
Tomorrow's a way out.
From all of this.
From all of my graves.

With a thousand snakes at my feet I rise.
With death in my eyes.
Run with the speed of light.
Until hope conquers all.

A fiery rain keeping me awake.
With every drop killing another promise.

5. Electra Complex

Slowly blinking light
Calls you home
Where your bloodline began
And where the meadows bathe in a cold morning sun

No place like other
It's so easy to breathe

And you felt the closeness of her
Yet you knew she was long gone
Tied your eyes
And the light won't hurt you
And kept the secret deep inside

Waiting for a closure
There is no remorse in your eyes
Only anger can keep you alive
And memories of a view from the past

No such thing as you are
Unique creation from the heart

And I felt the closeness of you
But I knew you were gone
Tied my eyes that the light wouldn't hurt me
And carried the secret inside

You tasted the venom
And felt the teeth and claws
Bared more than anyone dares
Swayed between real and unreal

You tasted the venom
And felt the wipe and chains
Bared more than anyone
Swayed between real and unreal

I fared open your mother's rib cage
Took out her beating heart
Looked deep into her dying eyes and asked
Was I ever worth of this?

Freak of nature

You tasted the venom
And felt the teeth and claws
Bared more than anyone dares
Swayed between real and unreal

Now you're here to show us why
A broken heritage should never be shown
Now you are here to tell the secret
Why some things should never be born

Tear open your mother's rib cage
Took out all her love
Looked deep into her dying eyes and asked
Is this my price?

Freak of nature

6. Stones And Pillars

Crawl my way through growl and crust
The hardest job I've ever had
Your heart is heavy but so is mine
As I swore to you once you're never gonna walk alone

Placing this image of a man
In between stones and pillars
Deep in the shadows
Armed and protected from curious eyes

I'll keep walking till my feet give out
Any my veins are dry like that wishing well
I still have purpose
One task to do
It's like wandering without a compass
But I'm still searching for you

Misery
It is our curse
Desperation
Feels like drowning in shallow waters
In between stones and pillars

Found some burned wood and six rusty nails
Somehow I knew exactly what I'm supposed to do
Building this monument for us to remember
What was it like when there was peace

Misery
It is our curse
Desperation
Feels like drowning in shallow waters
Misery
It is our curse
Desperation

7. Anchored

In your dead city
There was never enough light for all of us
In your dead city
The absence of it's soul made me want to leave
Into the unknown
Feel the fever piercing through your mind
Into the unknown
This is the last time you will ever see me burn

Let me drown to light with my ghosts
Let me drown to light with my ghosts

Only a few miles from home now
A rousing fire in my eyes
Closer to salvation
Free from the weight of you

Let me drown to light with my ghosts
Let me drown to light with my ghosts
Let me drown to light with my ghosts
Let me drown to light

Innocent lies
A love that never dies
Will you catch me when I fall
Crimson eyes
A light that never blinds
Promised to fight
Till I meet myself again
Innocent lies
A love that never dies
Will you catch me when I fall
Crimson eyes
A light that never blinds
Promised to fight
Till I meet myself again

Can't remember what it felt like the last time I left.
Unable to compromise
Can't remember what it felt like the last time I left
Unable to compromise

Seal my mouth
All screams quieted down
Seal my mouth and feel the fever rising

Innocent lies
A love that never dies
Will you catch me when I fall
Crimson eyes
A light that never blinds
Promised to fight
Till I meet myself again
Till I meet myself again
Till I meet myself again

8. The Knife

Try to stand up
Can't feel your feet
Trying to survive
You have no will to live
You want to get out
Walk through that door
Too weak to seek for help
But you know you have to try

Just one more time

Waiting for the end
Or a change direction.
'Cause you know you are ready to take everything you get
You get nothing done
Emotionally broken
You feel sick
When you find out that your best friend is a liar
Like we all are

This is not the first time
When I'm in this condition
And it's not the last time when I promise to change everything
Another year
Another wasted season
A decent boy holds the line alone
Another day
Another wasted hour
I'm standing on the edge of open grave
Let the shovel sing

Squeeze all the anger into a box
Seal it tight and bury it deep
Squash all your wisdom and light up the skies
Rub the blade till your fingers bleed
They preach about family and love
Yet in the end nothing's sacred
Halos are fading

This is not the last time when I'm bound to take the step
And it's not the first time when I promise everything
This is not the first time
When I'm in this condition
And it's not the last time when I promise to change everything
Another round
Another empty bottle
That same boy tries to be a man
Another prayer
Another pointless promise
I'm standing on the edge of open grave
Let the shovel sing.

Spilling lies upon your father's grave
Let the shovel sing
Let the shovel sing

9. Long Way To The Graves

When everything is said and done. And there's finally some time to breathe. You are overwhelmed by the calm. Senses focused for the one and only you love. I keep you safe at any cost. You must keep moving on until everything is lost. There's nothing that could break us apart. No sudden moves to shake your ground. There's no one who could make you complete. You've got a long way to the graves. One lie could tear us apart. And one look could change everything. Even your heart. Fragile life can be lost in a flash. You have grieved enough. You have to stand up. There's nothing that could break us apart. No sudden moves to shake your ground. There's no one who could make you complete. You've got a long way to the graves.

10. Elämä On Tulta

Elämä on tulta
En jaksa enää juosta
Hakekaa minut pois täältä
Tehkää päivistäni arvokkaita
Elämä. Tulta.
En jaksa enää juosta
Elämä. Tulta.
En kanna enää huolta
