Old souls waning in an empty ward
Dimly lit corridors
Wilted flowers and unread letters
Abandoned in this hell
No better than a killer on death row

Fade from the memory of everyone you know

They're in there sleeping in shit
You're off sinking the piss
Pull down the veil and forget for a while (for a while)
When time is borrowed
And the future only promises sorrow
Forever you and I are
The ghosts of tomorrow
The ghosts of tomorrow

Left to die (left to die)
Guilt burrows deep in the mind
Left to die (left to die)
Drowning the shame that dwells inside

Only grotesque neglect
In this prison run by animals
Mothers and fathers become
Meat for the trash heap
This is the evil that we permit

They're in there sleeping in shit
You're off sinking the piss
Pull down the veil and forget for a while (for a while)
When time is borrowed
And the future only promises sorrow

Forever you and I are
The ghosts of tomorrow

What God could forgive us?
Living with what we know
Old souls suffer alone
We betray
We deserve the fucking grave
We deserve the fucking grave
Ghosts of tomorrow
