Lyrics

0:05The hills find peace
0:06Locked armed guard posts
0:11Safe from the screams
0:12Of the children born as ghosts
0:16Gates guns and alarms
0:17Shape the calm of the dawn
0:21Peering down into the basin
0:22Where death lives on
0:27Where young run foaming at the mouth with hate
0:32Where burning batons beat the freezing who shake
0:37Under the toxic sunsets they dine and toast
0:42Their walls deny the terror faced by the children
0:46Born As Ghosts
0:47Born as ghosts A warning you sufferers
0:51Begin to speak our word
0:53Born as ghosts A warning you sufferers
0:56Begin to speak our word
0:58Born as ghosts A warning you sufferers
1:02Begin to speak our word
1:03Born as ghosts
1:05We're the children born as ghosts born as ghosts
1:14One book and forty odd
1:16Stuffed in a room
1:20Ah the school as a tomb
1:25Where home is a wasteland
1:26Taste the razor wire
1:31And thought is locked in the womb
1:36The tales that tear at the myth of the dream
1:41A suffering that shocks the lives off the screen
1:46Born as ghosts A warning you sufferers
1:50Begin to speak our word
1:51Born as ghosts A warning you sufferers
1:55Begin to speak our word
1:57Born as ghosts A warning you sufferers
2:00Begin to speak our word
2:02Born as ghosts
2:03We're the children born as ghosts born as ghosts
2:07Born as ghosts
The hills find peace
Locked armed guard posts
Safe from the screams
Of the children born as ghosts
Gates  guns and alarms
Shape the calm of the dawn
Peering down into the basin
Where death lives on
Where young run foaming at the mouth with hate
Where burning batons beat the freezing who shake
Under the toxic sunsets they dine and toast
Their walls deny the terror faced by the children
Born As Ghosts
Born as ghosts A warning  you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts A warning  you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts A warning  you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts
We're the children born as ghosts born as ghosts
One book and forty odd
Stuffed in a room
Ah  the school as a tomb
Where home is a wasteland
Taste the razor wire
And thought is locked in the womb
The tales that tear at the myth of the dream
A suffering that shocks the lives off the screen
Born as ghosts A warning  you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts A warning  you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts A warning  you sufferers
Begin to speak our word
Born as ghosts
We're the children born as ghosts born as ghosts
Born as ghosts
