Ghosts of Forgotten Worlds lyrics
by Bruce Dickinson
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
One last illusion
A powdered mirage
Hidden feelings
Swallowed by the red sand
Sudden vortex of tormented, damned souls
Of blindness and buried honour
I recall the sacred starflames
The great fury of the tornado
[Pre-Chorus]
Holy force!
(Water) Water, (Fire) Fire
Wind and Earth, arise
Arise!
[Verse 2]
A lonely trace of sorrow
One melancholic whisper
A cell of silent matter
Evolving to new forms of life
Ancient flesh and blood
Scream for vengeance
Beneath this unstable surface
The ground is shaking (The ground is shaking)
The earth is quaking (The earth is quaking)
It's the dark fate they once asked for
"It's nothing but sand after all"
[Pre-Chorus]
Holy force!
(Water) Water, (Fire) Fire
Wind and Earth, arise
[Chorus]
Stone souls caught in desert storms (Desert storms)
Once chained ghosts of forgotten worlds (Dusty worlds)
Chaosborn sandlords
[1st Guitar Solo]
[2nd Guitar Solo]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
(Water) Water, (Fire) Fire
Wind and Earth, arise
[Chorus]
Stone souls caught in desert storms (Desert storms)
Once chained ghosts of forgotten worlds (Dusty worlds)
Rise stone souls caught in desert storms (Desert storms)
Once chained ghosts of forgotten worlds (Dusty worlds)
Chaosborn sandlords
[Outro]
Chaosborn in desert storms
Once chained ghost
