Like Walking Ghosts

from Like Walking Ghosts by Bateau Ivre

lyrics

Old lessons were all false
use them to tear down walls
& give it another try

age of the dinosaurs
taught us to fear hot swords
so you ask me when and why

living like walking ghosts knowing that they're going to die
so grand a sacrifice in the blink of an eye

sweetest seed it was sown
eyes blaze in ruby glow
ready to burn alive

forgot how to read or write
circling your flaming light
forever your satellite

living like walking ghosts knowing that they're going to die
I want to hear your voice soothed by your lullabies

bad echoes subside
for you soften their sound
I gave you the crown
for the time it was ripe
three years that I strived
to relieve this frown
quit searching and found
and I feel alive

living like walking ghosts knowing that they're going to die
we are just sinners, tired to live in a world of lies

loving like walking ghosts knowing that we're going to die
our ashes blown around until the end of time.
