[Verse 1] I thought I'd left a wounded grave A monument to all their pride The broken beams and bloodstained floor Should have been enough that night [Pre Chorus] I hear the hammers through the rain I hear the voices rise again Each time I think the songs have died They find their way back in the end [Chorus] They return Like shadows I can't leave behind They return Like nightmares buried in my mind They return No matter how I try to hide They return To mock the peace I'll never find [Verse 2] The years have blurred together now Another feast, another song The countless seasons of my fury Yet the hall remains so strong [Pre Chorus] I hear the hammers through the rain I hear the voices rise once more Each time I think the songs have died They find their way back to the shore [Chorus] They return Like shadows I can't leave behind They return Like nightmares buried in my mind They return No matter how I try to hide They return To mock the peace I'll never find [Verse 3] I've crushed this hall so many times I've watched their banners fill the air No matter how I tear it down The same old songs are waiting there [Pre Chorus] I hear the hammers through the rain I hear the voices rise and fall Each time I think the songs have died They find their way back to this hall [Chorus] They return Like shadows I can't leave behind They return Like nightmares buried in my mind They return No matter how I try to hide They return To mock the peace I'll never find [Chorus] They return Like shadows I can't leave behind They return Like nightmares buried in my mind They return No matter how I try to hide They return To mock the peace I'll never find
