Ghosts of Enemies Past

[Verse 1: Male]
They creep in shadows, boots on broken glass
Whispers in the alleys where the sinners amass
A ghost with a grin, a knife for a spine
Said, "I’m sorry for the blood, but the blood ain’t mine"
Regret's a hollow echo, a scream that won’t fade
Tombs don’t talk back, no deals to be made
[Chorus: Male & Female]
Ghosts of enemies past, they wail, they cry
But their tears won’t raise the ones who died
Apologies float like smoke in the air
But the graves don’t care, no the graves don’t care
[Verse 2: Female]
Their hands are clean now, scrubbed raw to the bone
But the stains stay louder than a dial tone
I see their faces in the flicker of a flame
They mumble prayers, but they all sound the same
Repentance ain’t a bridge, it’s a gaping abyss
They beg for forgiveness, but it don’t exist
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
What’s done is done, their sins carved in stone
They try to outrun the ghosts they’ve sown
[Chorus: Male & Female]
Ghosts of enemies past, they wail, they cry
But their tears won’t raise the ones who died
Apologies float like smoke in the air
But the graves don’t care, no the graves don’t care
[Bridge: Male & Female]
(Male) They shiver in the dark, but the dark don’t bend
(Female) They plead to the void, but the void won’t mend
(Male) Regret’s a chain that drags 'em below
(Female) But the lost don’t care about the seeds they sow
