Ghosts of War

[Violin intro] [Verse 1] We were brothers in arms, forged in fire and steel, Sharing cigarettes, sharing stories, sharing every meal. Two souls against the world, with nothing left to lose, Facing down the enemy, with nothing left to choose. [Chorus] Ghosts of war, whispering your name, Haunt my dreams, fanning the flames. We swore we'd make it home, beneath the same sky, Now you're lost in the shadows, and I don't know why. [Verse 2] Remember that hillside, where the bullets rained like hell? We fought back to back, 'til the enemy fell. But a stray shot found you, a crimson stain so bright, Leaving me alone, in the fading battlefield light. [Chorus] Ghosts of war, whispering your name, Haunt my dreams, fanning the flames. We swore we'd make it home, beneath the same sky, Now you're lost in the shadows, and I don't know why. [Bridge] The world calls us heroes, but what good is this fame? When all I see is your face, whispering my name. I carry your memory, with every ragged breath, A burden and a blessing, until my own death. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Ghosts of war, whispering your name, Haunt my dreams, fanning the flames. We swore we'd make it home, beneath the same sky, Now you're lost in the shadows, and I don't know why
