Inside Looking Out (The Icon & The Ghost) - Halcyon Way

What would our fathers have thought?*

What would they say right now?

Our house is burning down

Burning down

This is not what we bled for

This is not why our sons have died

Our house is coming down

And we are still inside

I’m in the air you breath

I haunt the halls of history

You can sense me all around

I’m the one who denied the crown

I’m the one who shed a tear

When our sons and daughters died right here

On blood-soaked lands, with dirty hands

We grieve yet raise the flag

I watch over you

I see the evil that you choose

We fought and died for truth

That you twist and the abuse

I am watching over you

I shed a tear for what you do

From inside looking out

I am the ghost inside your house

When threatened from the east

To defend my soil I’ll give up peace

Half a million of my children dead

On sands of foreign lands

Now sterile to this day

So with all who dare betray

When men stand tall?

with steely eyes

Liberty will guide the way

Do you hear them?

I can hear them marching

Do you see them?

I can see them massing

Listen to them

Hear the soldiers marching

Hear them coming

They’re coming, they’re calling

What would our fathers have thought?

What would they say right now?

Our house is burning down

Burning down

This is not what we bled for

This is not why our sons have died

Our house is coming down

And we are still inside

What would our fathers have thought?

What would they say right now?

Our house is burning down

Burning down

This is not what we bled for

This is not why our sons have died

Our house is coming down

And we are still inside
