Ghost Nation

We live in a windswept hell Where dust and death are neighbors We hide in a perfect storm Not even God remembers We ran from the wars of man From everything you are and will be We are invisible We are the dead ghost nation When the sky came down When the sun went dark When the night was torn And we heard God laugh When the righteous came And they cleansed our sins Have you ever seen death with your own eyes? We live in the great unfound Where thought and ghost still wonder We drift on the drifting sand Where horrors of the past still linger (Still linger, still linger, still linger, still linger, still linger) We hide from the world of man From the cruelty that defines you We are the wind that cries We are the dead ghost nation When the sky came down When the sun went dark When the night was torn And we heard God laugh When the righteous came And they cleansed our sins Have you ever seen God with your own eyes? We are embers in the the flame We are whispers in God's name We are the heat that burns your skin We're the cold that lets pain in We're the wind that blinds your eyes We're the shame that haunts your lies We're the nightmare when you sleep We're the guilt that all men keep When the sky came down When the sun went dark When the night was torn And we heard God laugh When the righteous came And they cleansed our sins Have you ever seen me with your own eyes?
