Givin Up the Ghost Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Once we were like warriors
Once we were like kings
Once we were so young and pure
Flew on dirty wings
Fields of your surrender
Seem like a dream to me now
What you said, I still remember
While you were burning down the house
We′re givin' up the ghost
I believe that it′s time
I've been trying so long
Trying so hard
But still can't get it right
We got so close
But we couldn′t read the signs
Of what mattered most
And what we couldn′t leave behind
We're givin′ up the ghost
After all that we have been through
After all was said and done


Remember that the hunter
Is the hunted one
Seven years of hunger
Seven years under the gun
These days all I do is wonder
Who we've become
We′re givin' up the ghost
I believe that Its time
Its waiting out there
It′s ours to find
We got so close
We couldn't read the sign
We're givin′ up the ghost
The bells are ringing tonight
We′re givin' up the ghost
Scarlet are the curtains
That hang inside your room
I know that you′ve been hurtin'
I′ve been hurtin' too
There′s a shadow of a gunman
Standing next to your bed
There's a killer on the loose
He's runnin′ free in your head
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you seek
Sometimes the strongest
Appear as the weak
Sometimes betrayal, is the form of a kiss
Fear is a jail, when you′re feelin' like this
There′s a time to retreat, a time to advance
So give me one last chance
We're givin′ up the ghost
I believe that its time
Let's tear down those walls
That we couldn′t climb
We got so close
We couldn't read the sign
Of what matters most
And what we couldn't leave behind
We′re givin′ up the ghost
