Spectre by Greybeard Lyrics

What has happened to our home?
Blind to the obvious
It has been overthrown
A shadow of what it used to be
Clinging to a memory of faded glory

(Chorus)
Haunted by the past
History does not forget
Ghosts of the innocent
Trapped inside the mind
Specter of a lost nation
Opulence gives way to damnation

(Breakdown Part 1)
The serpent kings remains
Alone on his throne
His nation is forsaken
He will die alone

Clinging to his doctrine
His followers are gone
History will remember him
Hated and despised by all
(Breakdown Part 1)
A ghost of we used to be
Specter of freedom
Haunts the memory
A ghost of a failed nation
Specter of happiness, oh so fleeting

What has happened to our home?
Blind to the obvious
It has been overthrown
A shadow of what it used to be
Clinging to a memory of faded glory

(Repeat Chorus)

(Ending)
How did we let this come to pass?
All that we cherish shattered and gone
How did we let this slip away?
All of our memories, distant, fading, gone
