Ghosts of the Past

I walk alone through shattered time Ashes cling, they speak in rhyme Voices crawl beneath my skin The war I lost still lives within Ghosts of the past — feeding on me Chains I forged — I cannot break free No light, no truth, no release Only shadows that never cease Broken faces, hollow eyes Fragments buried in my mind Every step, they drag me down Into depths I cannot drown Ghosts of the past — feeding on me Chains I forged — I cannot break free No light, no truth, no release Only shadows that never cease They never die… they remain Etched in flesh… carved in pain
