Balkan Ghosts Lyrics

-verse 1-
Haunted Battlefields,
Scattered through the Balkans
A blood-laced history

-verse 2-
Cascading centuries,
Displaced ethnicity
Puppets to the past

-verse 3-
Entangled heritage
Woven words persuade
Creating blackened hate

Pre-Chorus
Their costumes soaked in red
Waving tattered flags
Canons forge a stain
Wounds that forever bleed!

Chorus
Mass migration across the borders
Phantom shadows in a frenzy
Hear the Balkan Ghosts screaming

-verse 4-
Neighbours locked in arms
Butchery in mud
Confused identities

-verse 5-
Hoof prints leave their mark
The rust of bayonets
Boundaries shift like sand

-verse 6-
Allies morph to foes
Enemies shake hands
Warped diplomacy

Chorus
Mass migration across the borders
Phantom shadows in a frenzy
Hear the Balkan Ghosts screaming
