[Verse 1] Ash on the wind where the old flags fell Steel doors closing like a prison cell I wore their colors, I carried their gun Never questioned just what we'd become They said the wasteland had lost its soul That we were fire to make it whole But I still see every face in shock On that long road to Raven Rock [Pre-Chorus] I hear them whisper when the night grows still Names I buried that I cannot kill [Chorus] I walk with ghosts through the broken land Blood in the dust on my shaking hands Every mile is a debt I owe To the lives I sent to steel cages below The war is over, but I still run From the things that I’ve done From the things I’ve done [Verse 1.5] The Enclave’s fire burned through my hands I did what they told me, obeyed their commands Every life taken, every soul confined Haunts the shadows of my broken mind [Verse 2] Amber eyes staring in rusted glass A stranger looking from my past The rifle’s clean but my soul’s not right Still hear them begging in the night I burned the armor, I burned the name But guilt’s a brand that won’t fade away No flag to follow, no home to claim Just empty roads and endless blame [Pre-Chorus] If there’s a God in this shattered sky Tell me why I’m still alive [Chorus] I walk with ghosts through the broken land Blood in the dust on my shaking hands Every mile is a debt I owe To the lives I sent to steel cages below The war is over, but I still run From the things that I’ve done From the things I’ve done [Bridge] If mercy lives in this dying world It never came for me The ones I lost, the ones I damned Are the only ones that I see And every scream in the desert wind Still sounds the same to me [Final Chorus] I walk with ghosts through the broken land Ash and sorrow in my hands Every step is a silent prayer For the lives I left in that nightmare there The war is over, but I still run From the lives I’ve taken, the things I’ve done And the ghosts of Raven Rock Will follow me till I’m gone
