Your father's ghost still walks these halls

Текст песни:

[Verse 1]
Sitting in your empty room
Ancient scrolls upon the wall
I trace the ink with trembling hands
These characters I barely know at all
Your incense lingers in the air
Like all the words we left unsaid

[Chorus]
Your father's ghost still walks these halls
The weight of centuries bears down
Your father's ghost still walks these halls
And I can't make a single sound

[Verse 2]
Tea stains mark the wooden floor
Where you taught me ceremony
But my hands were always clumsy
And disappointment filled your eyes
I bought a business suit last week
The old robes gather dust inside

[Chorus]
Your father's ghost still walks these halls
The weight of centuries bears down
Your father's ghost still walks these halls
And I can't make a single sound

[Bridge]
Steel and glass rise up around me
While paper walls keep crumbling down
Between two worlds, I stand divided
Neither sword nor pen feels right somehow

[Verse 3]
The family shrine stands in the corner
Next to my computer screen
Every morning, hesitation
Modern life or ancient dreams?
I bow my head in silence
But the answers never come

[Chorus]
Your father's ghost still walks these halls
(The halls are closing in)
The weight of centuries bears down
(Down into my skin)
Your father's ghost still walks these halls
And I can't make a single sound

[Outro]
In the space between two worlds
Your father's ghost still walks
These halls...
These halls...
