Ashes and Ghosts are all around me On the night of the assassins They came And I was ready Do you believe oh yeah Do you believe I look around the world and see The winged waifs powdered on petal dust I can't believe the sorcerer's dream has come And never chosen one of us All around the atoms raging I can see your magic's failing I do believe they're going to get you I do believe Can't cast a spell on me Ashes and Ghosts are all around me I don't believe in what you're saying Ashes and Ghosts they fill my heart Can't cast a spell on me Ashes and Ghosts are all around me You broke the truth and now you're failing Ashes and Ghosts they fill my heart You're a fake yeah You're a fraud The assassin's hand has planned to pull the wings off every one of us Yeah Cracked faeries heads are spinning down The Blood shot eyes nostrils flared at us All around the storms raging I can see your magic's failing I do believe they're going to get you I do believe Can't cast a spell on me Ashes and Ghosts are all around me I don't believe in what you're saying Ashes and Ghosts they fill my heart Can't cast a spell on me Ashes and Ghosts are all around me You broke the truth and now you're failing Ashes and Ghosts they fill my heart You're done You're a fake You're a fraud Can't cast a spell on me Ashes and Ghosts are all around me I don't believe in what you're saying Ashes and Ghosts they fill my heart Can't cast a spell on me Ashes and Ghosts are all around me You broke the truth and now you're failing Ashes and Ghosts they fill my heart Yeah you're failing Yeah you're failing, failing I don't believe in what you're saying Can't cast a spell on me ohh ohhhhh, no no no no You broke the truth and now you're failing Yeah you're failing Yeah you're failing Yeah you're failing | |
