lyrics

Statues of Ghosts

Hatred hangs high
On a pedestal
A long, dark shadow
That’s unforgettable

Mallets and chisels
Replaced the swords
Intimidation
Weapons of war

We’re haunted by statues of ghosts
Pillars of lies etched into stones
These are myths of the lost cause, immortalized and cast in bronze
We’re haunted by statues of ghosts

Reconstruction
A past disowned
Pious redemption
Recast in stone

Looming figures
Stare out at dawn
Effigies
Of lies agreed upon

We’re haunted by statues of ghosts
Pillars of lies etched into stones
These are myths of the lost cause, immortalized and cast in bronze
We’re haunted by statues of ghosts
But reckoning has come at last
And I’m standing with iconoclasts
Tearing down statues of ghosts
