Verse 1
Purple lightning in the California sky
Broken halos burning over Hollywood tonight
Sirens echo through the ruins of the streets
And every shadow’s got a heartbeat underneath
Phoebe’s calling from the darkness far away
Lost inside a storm she never meant to wake
Everybody running but there’s nowhere left to hide
When the ghosts come crawling out the other side
Pre-Chorus
And the city keeps falling
While the skyline burns
We were never ready
For the point of no return
Chorus
This is the end of the beginning
The fire before the fall
We keep fighting through the darkness
Even when we lose it all
Hear the sirens screaming louder
As the heavens split apart
We ain’t running from the nightmare
We’re Ghostbusters after dark
Whoa-oh-oh
The storm is rising now
Whoa-oh-oh
We stand our ground
Verse 2
Engines roaring down the desert highway lines
ECTO racing through the thunder every night
Broken proton packs held together by hope
Still enough to fight against the coming storm
Temple shadows towering over Universal
Creatures falling from the sky like judgment calls
And the whole world’s watching as the legends ride again
New York heading west to save their friends
Pre-Chorus
And the fear keeps calling
Like a voice inside
But we don’t back down
When the dead arise
Chorus
This is the end of the beginning
The fire before the fall
We keep fighting through the darkness
Even when we lose it all
Hear the sirens screaming louder
As the heavens split apart
We ain’t running from the nightmare
We’re Ghostbusters after dark
Bridge
Fire ‘em up!
Light the night!
Hold the line till morning light!
If we fall
We fall as one
Till every ghost is gone
Purple skies and shattered dreams
Nothing’s ever what it seems
But the signal still survives
And tonight we stay alive
Final Chorus
This is the end of the beginning
The war before the dawn
Every soul still standing
Keeps the final light turned on
Hear the proton streams igniting
Watch the shadows come apart
No surrender in the darkness
We were haunted from the start
Whoa-oh-oh
The storm is rising now
Whoa-oh-oh
We stand our ground
Outro
Somewhere in the distance
Sirens fade into the rain…
But the Ghostbusters are coming
Back again.
