Heroes & Ghosts
I feel like a shooting star That can do no wrong Burning out so bright while Dying to exonerate the world Feel the burn of re-entry As a glimmer of hope it Lumbers through my dried veins The air’s too thin to keep fueling the flames I am but a spark A memory held hostage in such high revere A neurotoxin cocktail mixed with fear And I won’t live like this With discrepancies and sorrow Following in the distance While the skeletons are waiting for their call Your heroes are our ghosts Nothing but a film of dust That hides the truth As stubborn winds blow by And it’s blocking the sunlight And infecting the air Just let it out Letras de canciones The predators are patrolling the roost Protecting their false idols and their great ideals Holding back their sure fire fall from grace From a demigod down to an anti hero The legacy’s been locked in place A stacked deck up the sleeve just in case And I won’t live like this With discrepancies and sorrow Following in the distance While the skeletons are waiting for their call Your heroes are our ghosts Nothing but a film of dust That hides the truth As stubborn winds blow by We all have our demons waiting in the night Standing just beyond our sight But time conquers all The heroes that you speak of Are nothing but a ghost to me Another log on the funeral pyre Dripping with deceit like gasoline Time conquers all And their time will come The skeletons are so patient Waiting for their call Your heroes are our ghosts Nothing but a film of dust That hides the truth As stubborn winds blow by We all have our demons waiting in the night Standing just beyond our sight But time conquers all And it’s blocking the sunlight And infecting the air The skeletons are so patient Waiting for their call From Letras Mania
