Ghosts of Olden Days Lyrics


-Intro-

I hear whispers, moaning whispers

The winds whisper mourning death,

I walk the beach, stained with red,

The blood of innocence was shed...

Three tombstones sit upon the hill

Beckoning me, they always will,

The cliffs of surround; chasms of doom

Moments of death were all they knew...

-Verse I-

I lie awake, my nightmare ends

I look outside, the graves silent,

Their tragedy stays in my head

A family of three murdered...

I feel cold eyes stare into me

I don't know where they seem to be,

The cold of death cuts into me,

As if their souls watch hauntingly...

-Bridge I-

I see a photograph, the family

They look happy, so damn carefree...

They're on the beach, unsuspecting

Of everything that day would bring...

A little boy, his mum and dad

Were killed before they knew a thing....

Murderers came, crept on the beach

And took their lives, innocence dies...

Thrown off the cliffs, the dark abyss

With their throats slit, thrown out to sea...

A sea of death which claims the dredged

Leaving their souls filled with torment...

They draw me in, enticingly

They're beckoning beyond the grave...

Screaming for me in suffering

Wishing for me to join in death....

-Chorus-

The ghosts of old circling around,

The ghosts of old surrounding me,

The ghosts of old want me to dive

Into to depths, to stay behind...

The ghosts of old call out to me,

The ghosts of old screaming my name,

The ghosts of old now closing in,

To end my life, to share their fate....

-Verse II-

And now I'm running the hall

I don't feel enticed anymore,

Their ghosts so close they're lingering

They're everywhere, I can't break free...

I'm chased out into the moonlight,

Towards the cliffs, their tombstones shine,

With just a few steps from the edge

There's no escape from certain death....

-Bridge II-

Jump into the chasm, into limbo,

Lost amongst the living, share our curse

We are forever damned to haunt these shores,

Never absolved, eternal bonds unsevered....

Jump into the chasm, into limbo,

Lost amongst the living, share our curse

We are forever damned to haunt these shores,

Never absolved, eternal bonds unsevered....

-Chorus-

-Verse III-

I hear whispers, moaning whispers

The winds whisper mourning death,

I'm on the cliffs, so stained with red

This chapter ends in my bloodshed...

The ghosts wait in the tides below,

I'm hypnotized, caught in their glow,

Possessed I take my final steps

Plummeting deep into the depths....

-Bridge II/Outro-
