Ghost in the Fire (Remastered)

[Verse 1] I see your face in the embers, hear your voice in the wind Echoes of battle still whisper your name in my skin Gunfire and silence, they bleed into one You were here… now you’re gone… [Pre-Chorus] Blood on the sand, smoke in the sky I try to move on, but I can’t say goodbye You faded away, but left me behind Now every breath feels like a crime [Chorus] How do I live when you’re buried in dust? The weight of your loss is too heavy for us They gave you a flag, they gave me the pain Now I’m drowning in memories, screaming your name How do I stand when you’re under my feet? Fighting a war that I’ll never defeat Every night I still hear your last cry But I was the one left alive… [Verse 2] Tried to run, tried to fight, but the ghosts never leave Every shadow, every silence, they keep pulling me deep I see your hands in the smoke, reaching out from the past But no bullet, no bomb, could ever bring you back [Pre-Chorus] Blood on the sand, smoke in the sky I try to move on, but I can’t say goodbye You faded away, but left me behind Now every breath feels like a crime [Chorus] How do I live when you’re buried in dust? The weight of your loss is too heavy for us They gave you a flag, they gave me the pain Now I’m drowning in memories, screaming your name How do I stand when you’re under my feet? Fighting a war that I’ll never defeat Every night I still hear your last cry But I was the one left alive… [Bridge] “You said we’d make it out alive…” “You swore we’d leave this war behind…” “But I walked away while you stayed behind!” Tell me, was it worth the fight?! Did you see the light before you died?! Or was it nothing—just cold and black?! Is there a heaven, or are you never coming back?! [Furious Guitar Solo] [Chorus] How do I live when you’re buried in dust? The weight of your loss is too heavy for us They gave you a flag, they gave me the pain Now I’m drowning in memories, screaming your name How do I stand when you’re under my feet? Fighting a war that I’ll never defeat Every night I still hear your last cry But I was the one left alive… [Outro] I lay a rose where your body lies… Another name lost in the fire… I close my eyes, but I still see… You were the best part of me…
