Ghost Brigade
Until Fear No Longer Defines Us
1. In The Woods
Trying to remember the names of the places
Where we used to go when we were young
It's so weird that when you get older
Feels like time is going faster
You just try to hang on
And realize what is real
You built your own graveyard
Left all the tombs open
I wondered who they're waiting for
Until one day I understood
You said every soul needs a home
This is not a boneyard
But a home for broken dreams
We shared the same bottle
Smokes were all mine
I know you are still here somewhere
But I don't want to find you
Even if you'd like to forget
Some memories will come back
You have to swallow the pain
Despite the taste
You built your own graveyard
Left all the tombs open
I wondered who they're waiting for
Until one day I understood
You said every soul needs a home
This is not a boneyard
But a home for broken dreams
2. Clawmaster
Sweating blood
Wading in mud
Pulling heavy carriage
On this road to nowhere
Pounding rain
A roaring thunder
Trying to maintain sanity
Fading consciousness
Every whiplash throws me back to this nightmare
I will break my leash
I will break the bond between us
And prove my innocence
Running through the woods
And an open field
A feeling of freedom
Is just passing by
Once I was a hunter
Now I've become prey
They can tear me to pieces
But my ghost will stay whole
I am exhausted
Feels like I'm reaching the end
I keep on falling
You were my master
You treated me like a pet
Now I have my own opinion
Cut off the ropes
Seal my wounds
Let me run away to find my brigade
Give back my name
And my dignity
I want to run free with my brigade
I was your slave with no name
You defiled my body
But you couldn't destroy my soul
I'm the growing rage
I'll break all the chains
No one can stop me
I give you salvation
Now it's my turn to look down on you
While you're digging your own grave
I am immortal
I will make you lose your mind
And you will see the light
Cut off the ropes
Seal my wounds
Let me run away to find my brigade
Give back my name
And my dignity
I want to run free with my brigade
3. Chamber
Oh how long is the day
I can't stand this light
I want to travel through darkness
There's nothing to see anymore
The last touch of your cold skin
Both gentle and painful
A silent whisper tells me to leave
No longer needed
Denied feelings
For the rest of your life
You live in fear
This is not our path
It wasn't made for us
This endless time feels like a prison
Bars made of memories and walls made of cries
Drinking the tears and eating the souls
We're all doing time and that time ain't ours
We're all doing time and that time ain't ours
I am drinking the tears away
Can't feel the ground
It's not the same
Everything changes
I hate your face
I want the ground to take me and swallow me whole
I want the ground to save me and hide my soul
If you want to disappear, please follow me
This endless time feels like a prison
Bars made of memories and walls made of cries
Drinking the tears and eating the souls
This endless time feels like a prison
Bars made of memories and walls made of cries
Drinking the tears and eating the souls
We're all doing time and that time ain't ours
We're all doing time and that time ain't ours
I am drinking the tears away and eating the souls
We are losing our souls again
If you want to disappear, please follow me
4. Traces Of Liberty
A sun imprisoned in dawn
Slowly drifting away from you all
Further and further
Where light and darkness never play
Make me return, when my eyes can't see home no more
Force us to crawl, again and again
Until we all break, in your head
Keep fixing the unbroken 'til your nails start to bleed
Forever lost
Was staring at your shadow
You seemed so hollow in comparison
I heard you singing but I just couldn't feel it
Would you be ready for the darkest side of me?
Fatalism raising its head for the last time
Smother the pain to live free
Kill the fear and start to forget
Forever lost - in an endless void so severe
Was staring at your shadow
You seemed so hollow in comparison
I heard you singing but I just couldn't feel it
Would you be ready for the darkest side of me?
5. Divine Act Of Lunacy
If it helps you, you can always run away
And if it makes you feel any better
You can tear yourself apart
But in the end you will stand alone
And your shadow stares back at you
You wish for the end of the world
And for sure you will have it all
But when you look at the last sunset
All your dreams begin to fall
Marching through fire without water
Cleanse yourself for tomorrow
Fear is forbidden
Marching through fire without water
Cleanse yourself for tomorrow
Fear is forbidden
It is obvious that we are not here to value life
We are built for greed
Envy is not a deadly sin
It's just a word to explain what you really are
Harness yourself for the last war
A war no one can win
Marching through fire without water
Cleanse yourself for tomorrow
Fear is forbidden
Marching through fire without water
Cleanse yourself for tomorrow
Fear is forbidden
Fear is forbidden!
6. Grain
Now, I'm still here to love you
But I need you to be ready
One day you have to carry me
And lay me down to the hole
It's a shame I'm not the light you need
When you feel lost in the dark
It's a shame you can not follow me
When I need to be understood
I am not the one to tell the truth
Not the one to tell a lie
Is this the heaven I knew or just another hell
Hear the storm rising again
And I'm just a grain of sand
Storm is fading away
Leaving dust flowing in the air
Watching the view still unknown
Can not remember this place
Feel your hand in mine
Or is it just a feeling
How deep have I fallen this time
Can I still climb back
I'm not the one to tell the truth
Not the one to tell a lie
Is this the heaven I knew or just another hell
Hear the storm rising again
And I'm just a grain of sand
Feel the storm rising again
I can hear it inside my head
Again I had to let you go
But remember what I said
I needed this time for myself
To find out what went wrong
Even though the years have gone by
I still don't know you
I'm not the one to tell the truth
Not the one to tell a lie
Is this the heaven I knew or just another hell
I'm not the one to tell the truth
Not the one to tell a lie
Is this the heaven I knew or just another hell
Hear the storm rising again
And I'm just a grain of sand
7. Breakwater
Lost at sea
Father, come take me back home
The sun's colder today
But the rhythm of water is keeping me warm
Feel its weight, lay your head down
Oh burden, how did we come so far?
Stay with me, until fear no longer defines us
Under these waves
My lungs, filled with hope
Misconceptions and the need to control
Leave it all behind to live once more
Reaching for the surface
Wonder what it would feel like to break away with the tide
Reaching for the surface to rise above the past
Drifting in air, above the droning sounds
Where my roots can not trespass my weary soul
Striving towards a new day
I am more than they will ever know
Reaching for the surface
Wonder what it would feel like to break away with the tide
Reaching for the surface to rise above the past
8. Cult Of Decay
All I remember is the smile on your face
Then you turned your back on the world
Was that the last thing you could do
How does it feel now to stand alone
Do you feel the weight on your shoulders
You wear that crown of arrogance with pride
We all want to see you kneel before your demons
Like we all used to do
The smoke is fading out
And we can finally see what we have done
Ruined our home again
Take a bath in the last beam of sunset
Purify your stained soul
Let's see how high you can go this time
We are still down here
Waiting for a miracle
But you've got to believe
We're out of hope
The smoke is fading out
And we can finally see what we have done
You think you look like god
What is wrong with you
Battered by religion
But still you're trying to smile
Under the shadow of the cross
Burning from inside out
Being baptized doesn't give you any relief
Found yourself being fooled by yourself
And now you are dying in shame
The smoke is fading out
And we can finally see what we have done
Ruined our home again
No glory, no remorse, no mercy
We burn your heaven down with unholy fire
Once we were blinded by the words from above
But now we can see clearly
Ruined our home again
9. Torn
This is too hard
Want to erase you!
Clean up my head and move on
It 's taking so long to get rid of you
I've got no patience
World is coming down
And I can't let go
Falling deeper down
With rising speed
It's so hard to breathe
Through the darkest shadows
Into deeper black
No one can find me
But I'm still staring at you
Behind this smile
There's nothing but bitterness
Unseen visions shining through these eyes
Behind this smile
Envy is the only life force
And still we are proud of what we've done
Saw this coming too many times
In my nightmares
Forgot to care
Times of insanity liberate you to understand
And you are finally whole
Behind this smile
There's nothing but bitterness
Unseen visions shining through these eyes
Behind this smile
Envy is the only life force
And still we are proud of what we've done
10. Soulcarvers
Drawn back to life from a storm so cold
Into comforting fire, a new dawn is rising
Unmasked, ready for deliverance
Rebirth through failure
Just like so many times before
They've been asking where you have been,
Why you haven't been around
Answers were always there but now lie deep in the trenches
Buried to the heart of ten thousand days
When you have lost all direction
Let the silence speak the loudest words
When you have lost all direction
Let the undone come to life
And that day we banished it all
For a moment everything was well
Revered all that was given and without a sound
Made a promise that tomorrow would be a good day
Buried to the heart of ten thousand days
When you have lost all direction
Let the silence speak the loudest words
When you have lost all direction
Let the undone come to life
And feel the love engraved
To the undivided presence of hope and innocence
