lyrics
I walk alone with my memories
on a desert plain that used to be green,
and I think to myself “what a tragedy..
let it slip away, we had all we would ever need”
I can recall not so long ago when the blue skies they faded
The machine consumed ‘til there was no room
It could never be sated
We turned a blind eye
While the oceans they died
Now we’re left in the silence
We thought it would last
Now that time has passed
Back then, I could call upon my friends
But the harsh harsh winds and storms and earthquakes blew them all away
Oh
It’s hard
It’s harder to go on
But I still survive
Don’t know how I’m still alive alive
I can recall not so long ago when the blue skies they faded
The machine consumed ‘til there was no room
It could never be sated
Paid a great cost
Paradise lost
It will never be the same
Still I persist, something in the mist keeps me here
I walk through the valley
A valley of pain
The leftover people are praying for rain
The desolate wasteland is all that remains
A paradise lost in the hands of the insane
Where the rivers once flowed, there is only dust
Plastic and garbage and acid and rust
We used to tell stories, sing songs, and laugh,
Now the joke is on us, those days have passed
Specter
Specter
Specter
Specter
Specter
Specter
I’m a ghost
Specter
I’m a ghost
I’m a ghost
