Ashes on the Drum

V4.5-ALL

[Instrumental] [Intro] [heavy military-style drums… distorted feedback] Yeah… Baby Ghost… I been to hell and back… Now the darkness know my name… [Verse 1] I got scars carved deep in my chest Pain turned rage into everything left Every night feel like combat stress Still standing while I’m mentally wrecked Cold world made a savage out me Trust gone, ain’t nobody around me Every lie left another cut Now survival the only thing driving me Woo… Back against the wall, I still won’t break Too much pressure for a soul this weight Everybody love when the lights on bright But disappear when your demons wake I hear ghosts in the silence now Feel rage every time I look down Tried praying but the sky stayed black So I learned how to survive that [Pre-Chorus] And the war drums pound… When the night comes out… Every demon circling… Trying to drag me down… [Hook] Voodoo… Feel the darkness in my bloodstream Voodoo… Every nightmare still hunts me No peace… No sleep… Only war inside me… Voodoo… The pain got control now… [Verse 2] I got fists full of broken trust Heart cold from the smoke and dust Too many nights I was left alone Now I move like I can’t be touched Ayy… Battle scars all across my soul Anger built me from losing control Everybody claiming loyalty Till hard times finally take their toll Woo… I seen real ones turn fake quick Seen good hearts turn dangerous Now I keep my guard sky high Cause betrayal made me heartless And the fire still burn in my chest Every memory still leaves stress But I refuse to die weak That’s the mindset keeping me left [Bridge] [screamed vocals over crushing guitars] I WON’T BREAK— I WON’T FALL— EVEN IF THE DARKNESS TAKE IT ALL— NO FEAR— NO CHAINS— I LEARNED HOW TO LIVE THROUGH PAIN— [Final Hook] Voodoo… Feel the darkness in my bloodstream Voodoo… Every nightmare still hunts me Storm clouds… War cries… Thunder screaming through the night… Voodoo… The pain got control now… [Outro] [guitars fading into thunder] Yeah… Ghost Gang… Mad House Music… 🎸🔥
