about

City of Ghosts is largely inspired by the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and preceding events. The song also contains a quote from and is partly inspired by The World without Us (2007) by A. Weisman.

lyrics

Lay down your arms –
Spring has come
Divided we conquer no one
Rules of the land
With fire in their hands
Those who believe
The means justify their ends

War everywhere, but there’s nothing to fear anymore
So many years, the waves have reclaimed the shore
Can you see people leave? They flee to avoid their doom
In this city of ghosts – forever in bloom

This used to be home. Where’s your right to return?
There used to be sun Now it never will warm anyone
You could turn it around, You could build it up from the ground
But damage is done, damage is already done

The world without us
Will not miss a beat
Sharp blades of grass
Grow under our feet
The smell of defeat
Like the summer so sweet
It shatters like glass
This world without us

War everywhere, but there’s nothing to fear anymore
So many years, the waves have reclaimed the shore
Can you see people leave? They flee to avoid their doom
In this city of ghosts – forever in bloom

Once we were strangers
Nesting in feathers
Easy to squeeze.

Words carry messages
Inspired by battle
Newfound questions;
Girth in the riff.

Live long but focus;
Every breath is for music.
Fly towards freedom –
Thoughts are contagious. ... more
