Ghost Town
Beware of Darkness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heaven can smile above me
As they watch me drag my chains to hell
Angels they die above me
Raining down from the sky to kiss the desert ground

Mmm hmm
I feel my end is coming now
I walk alone inside this ghost town
Mmm hmm
Baby won’t you kill me now?
Kill me dead inside this ghost town

I watched the moon fall dead
It’s such a lovely feeling to know I’m better off -
Kill me please!
Heaven’s gates are closed I’m here forever it seems

Mmm hmm
Baby won’t you kill me now?
I walk alone inside this ghost town
Mmm hmm
I feel my time is running out
I walk alone inside this ghost town

Mmm hmm
I feel my time is running out
I walk alone inside this ghost town
Mmm hmm
Baby won’t you kill me now?
Kill me dead inside this ghost town

I bear my conscience
Day by day
Night by night
Year by year
Life and death
Breathe by breathe
Whore by whore
Pore by pore

I want to die
I’ve been alive too long





Where’s my savior?

I hear so many great influences in this band...Led Zeppelin, Jack White, The Beatles, etc. BOD needs more recognition than they have. This is actual good music, I am a fan.
