Poets Of The Fall - Ghostlight [Full Album 2022]

Lyrics to Ghostlight [Full Album 2022] by Poets Of The Fall

Tracklist: 01. Firedancer In the space between thought and wonder Memory cannot pull you under In the moment between breath and dying You're free, fearless, you're flying It's a new age, gotta make it up as you go It's all the rage, gotta take it all in tow You can't be living by the shreds of What you think you're owed Sage advice or sensory overload Whatever the pressure However your pleasure holds you Captive to the treasure No matter how the earth reverberates You're dancing with the greats With the fools and their fates For time it never waits Crash the gates Firedancer, flame of life What remains is a gamble, fall or fly Play your ace, and remember there's a why You should always question the answer Are you ready for your life to be laid bare? And are you sure about the proof by which you swear? It's all the same, life's a game for name untarnished By someone else's fear Whatever they offer However your wishes beckon Harder than you reckon But fire doesn't dance to their dictates And now you're dancing with the greats Let the fools have their fates For time it never waits Firedancer, flame of life What remains is a gamble, fall or fly Play your ace, and remember there's a why You should always question the answer At the moment of breath of dying, I am free, fearless, flying With the Ace Firedancer, flame of life What remains is a gamble, fall or fly Play your ace, and remember there's a why You should always question the answer 02. Requiem For My Harlequin This is a requiem for the harlequin The great pretender crashing down with style Here's to the fall of man, fame to dust, fortune to sand The great surrender, finally arrived This is how the requiem loves the harlequin Wake up, your chains are porcelain Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing To the beat of your fool heart hammering One more time we'll cry into the night again oh Oh oh oh yeah Oh oh This is a requiem for the comedian The one who used to deftly dodge in time You caught a sparkling gem, never heeding the warning Of the silver glint of knives in hungry eyes This is how the requiem loves the harlequin Wake up, your chains are porcelain Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing To the beat of your fool heart hammering One more time we'll cry into the night again oh Oh oh oh yeah Oh oh So how does it feel now? Tell me, can you let it go? The wrong you can't undo So how does it feel now? Tell me, can you let it go? The wrong you can't undo This is how the requiem loves the harlequin Breaking up this heart of porcelain From the ashes we will rise again This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing To the beat of your fool heart hammering One more time we'll cry into the night again This is how the requiem loves the harlequin Wake up, your chains are porcelain Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing To the beat of your fool heart hammering One more time we'll cry into the night again oh 03. Sounds Of Yesterday It was seven forty seven We were on our way to heaven In a race car to the stars With a city of blazing lights embracing us We never thought to worry, 'cause we Only thought of glory And we trusted our lucky stars So we never thought mere Seconds would betray us Thought we saw true In the bright youth Ghost of light come shining through In the dawn blue, in a breath they flew Silent now the sounds of yesterday I'm treading on sacred ground again Like a single errant ray Showing us the wounds we both sustained And our sacred pain Till' silent fall the sounds of yesterday Nothing I do, nothing I say will ever turn the rising tide In the vein of fever dreams It seems to ride us We never said we're sorry and the pattern wrote the story One more death by friendly fire All on pain of missing out on that final rush Did we run through before we knew what it was we left behind? Hunting ghostlights all the white nights through Silent now the sounds of yesterday I'm treading on sacred ground again Like a single errant ray Showing us the wounds we both sustained And our sacred pain Till' silent fall the sounds of yesterday Hear them softly sigh The sounds of yesterday Let them heal our wounds If I close my eyes, I can see you Oh I can see you close enough to touch I hardly dare to dream you, oh, lest it be too much What's the moral of the story when I Only see us fighting, elegy to To the starry-eyed Ooh Silent now the sounds of yesterday I'm treading on sacred ground again Like a single errant ray Showing us the wounds we both sustained And our sacred pain Till' silent fall the sounds of yesterday 04. Revelations In the brooding silence by the light of the moon Running through yesterdays gone wrong Plant a seed of violence it's the same old tune Lay out the ravages of love And it cuts so deep that the fool in you is me But it pays to see the unholy cast of disharmony Bittersweet revelations, let the mirror come alive Glorified sensation, your name in the headlines Oh, revelations, salvation is poison we mystify It's love with a black eye and no alibi No illusion to save you this time You are asylum to my solitude Playing charades all along You are a siren where I lay marooned And here I thought nothing could go wrong And it cuts so deep that the fool in you is me But it pays to see the unholy cast of disharmony Bittersweet revelations, let the mirror come alive Glorified sensation, your name in the headlines Oh, revelations, salvation is poison we mystify It's love with a black eye and no alibi No illusion to save you this time Well, this my life story My fingers to the bone I'm running after glory Oh yeah, I should've known Should have known Yeah, I should know by now Bittersweet revelations, let the mirror come alive Glorified sensation, your name in the headlines Oh, revelations, salvation is poison we mystify It's love with a black eye and no alibi No illusion to save you this time Ooh ooh 05. Heroes And Villains There was discord, misuse of worth And the wool over my eyes When I needed support, to feel the burn To lift me up to new heights Sensation, compelling, and I'm closer to the edge Temptation, alluring, yet I taste regrets And who will pay the price, the lost or the damned When nothing will open eyes like steel in my hand? We're heroes and villains by chance Heroes and villains by choice All in one voice All in one voice Beguiling words painted lips with soot Made an empty shell of your lies Exquisite hurt as the truth takes root In the hollows of your eyes Sensation, tormenting, and I'm closer to the edge Temptation, enduring, yet I taste regrets Who will pay the price, the lost or the damned When nothing will open eyes like steel in my hand? We're heroes and villains by chance Heroes and villains by choice All in one voice What is it to you, can you deny What is a secret to a lie? Spins a world so watertight It hides salvation in plain sight Ahh ahh... Sensation, so telling, and I'm closer to the edge Temptation wears my ring, yet I taste regrets Who will pay the price, the lost or the damned When nothing will open eyes like steel in my hand? We're heroes and villains by chance Heroes and villains by choice All in one voice 06. Lust For Life I think it's funny but it seems to heal me Seems to take the weight of the world right off my shoulders When you look at me with a smile I feel stronger You show me a world of truth will never falter, yeah When I feel so alone out here And freedom means I am lost When everyday leaves me patching up my wounded pride You reignite my lust for life I think it's funny but it seems to deal me A better hand of cards to play this round of poker A full house with a pair of aces and soldiers When your kiss on my lips still cools and smolders, ah ah When I feel so alone out here And freedom means I am lost When everyday seems a slow motion suicide You reignite my lust for life Though this ship's run aground You can still come around What is lost may be found Safe and sound And on this sorry-go-round Don't know which way we're bound What is lost may be found Safe and sound Ain't it funny how it seems to heal me Seems to take the weight of the world right off my shoulders When I feel so alone out here And freedom means I am lost Still everyday I keep the faith that it will be alright For you reignite my lust for life For you reignite my lust for life 07. Chasing Echoes Is the dream still alive, still the image of perfection? Sweet little delight, a happy disaster, an easy lie? Well, sometimes hurt befriends rejection It's kinda rich, I know when you're the one denied Ooh, ooh Is this a role or disguise seeking mercy in creation? Just another device or truly a time when we will rise? Oh one and all, to the occasion And bridge the gap to see the other side? Where day and night become vertigo You still light up my soul like a burning halo Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show Looking for something more, chasing echoes Ooh ooh Are you really surprised to hear the daydream shop went bankrupt? Truly beside yourself 'cause the carnival closed down? When the show suddenly stops, no matter how much you've got It's still cold out here alone Where day and night become vertigo You still light up my soul like a burning halo Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show Looking for something more, chasing echoes Ooh ooh Here we go shamelessly courting the vices, the virtues The trifles until we bring down the world Pleasure highs within meanings lost Looking for a quick fix Fulfillment fast lane Pleasure lies about the cost Of keeping the dream alive... Alive... Where day and night become vertigo You still light up my soul like a burning halo Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show Looking for something more, chasing echoes Oh looking for something more, chasing echoes Ooh ooh Let go... 08. Weaver Of Dreams Let your thoughts fade away Softly now, you're safe And even your name Till there's nothing left but grace Flowing like a ballet You're walking on air Touching the clouds as they tear While you sail before the wind Like an ocean wave Watch as your doubts disappear Like a chorus you ascend To the break of day Ocean blues out of greys Echoes whispering praise While confusion entertains Even shadow's embrace tells me You will find your beautiful day Floating over the sea Metallic, filigreed, horizon free And you, the storm of depths revealed In a trance of steel Tell me, how do you feel? Hear now, eternity Whispering in your ear Every step you take And you are the Weaver of dreams Void of any fear Calm and awake Ocean blues out of greys Echoes whispering praise While confusion entertains Even shadow's embrace tells me You will find your beautiful day Watch as the clouds disappear While you're lying in the sun And the world awaits Such is the will without fear It'll never be undone With a thought create Ocean blues out of greys Echoes whispering praise While confusion entertains Even shadow's embrace tells me You will find your beautiful day 09. Hello Cabaret Hello Cabaret I love your bling and sway Your bright display It isn't everyday you get to have your way Cheers and hoorays! Here's to a brand new day A brand new day of running with the wolves Who'll never understand The reason for the circumstance How is this the way the story goes? Most will never comprehend 'Til they're in the very Predicament Then it's oh, oh, oh Hello Cabaret Like a rainy day I've gotta break away Well look now This is everything I've saved For just such a day Diamonds and spades For when you come calling Dancing on my grave For all my choices made Judging me for how I played The hand you dealt me Stains the blood that flows Most will never comprehend Till' they're in the very predicament Then it's oh, oh, oh Hello rainy day Come wash away My doubts and my convictions Got me waylaid Come clean my slate Don't keep me waiting Restless and afraid Of all I once did love but lost Nothing comes without a cost The wise fool said that's just the way it goes Most will never comprehend Till' they're in the very predicament And then it's oh, oh Are you alright my love? Hello Cabaret Hope you enjoyed your stay And this lil' soiree The mock Ballet, the Beaujolais, and me All overlaid While I sang and played Now it's a brand new day for running with the wolves 10. Beyond The Horizon The silence is whispering to me In voices only I hear Of memories I wish to live once more Memories I hold most dear In the light of dying fires Divine beyond what I'm allowed I glimpse the spurs of runaway sighs Before they flicker out And I long to sleep eternally Peaceful in my release Free me at last of my promise to stay I long to go beyond Beyond the horizon I'll follow where love has gone Twilight finds me here alone Beyond the horizon I see your love shining, oh My ghostlight, my afterglow My light, my sole surviving friend As darkness still huddles near Flirting with my weary soul Of age beyond my years My wishes flow in rivulets Scarlet in the night In pools of staring emptiness Drowning in the tide And I long to sleep eternally Peaceful in my release Free me at last, of my promise to stay I long to go beyond Beyond the horizon I'll follow where love has gone Twilight finds me here alone Beyond the horizon I see your love shining, oh My ghostlight, my afterglow Beyond the horizon I'll follow where love has gone Twilight finds me here alone Beyond the horizon I see your love shining, oh My ghostlight, my afterglow There are those who have become lost In the darkness and found hope Those who have surrendered to the fires of tribulation And been reborn Those who can illuminate the history Of our time to come We call them ghostlights
