Lyrics
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
