Ghosts
The Necromancers Union Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The shadows creep in silent fire
Hidden way down inside with the darkest of desires

Throw your hands to your face and you cover your eyes
There's a fear deep inside that you don't realise
Your failings in life are the reason you're here

You light a fire at midnight
As a thousand voices call
And you feel your skin begin to crawl
When the shadows creep inside
From darkness of the night
Then the ghost inside you starts to wail

This agony is nothing new
From the dark of the night the voice is calling for you
Throw your hands to the sky and you open your eyes
There's a fear deep inside that you no longer hide
All your failings in life are the reason you're here

You light a fire at midnight
As a thousand voices call
And you feel your skin begin to crawl
When the shadows creep inside
From darkness of the night
Then the ghost inside you starts to wail

All the hands from the left
And the eyes from the right
A million shadows are closing in
There's a fire in the the hills
all of time's standing still
And every minute of life is an agony and a sin

You light a fire at midnight
As a thousand voices call
And you feel your skin begin to crawl
When the shadows creep inside




From darkness of the night
Then the ghost inside you starts to wail

Overall Meaning

The song "Ghosts" by The Necromancers Union is an eerie and haunting tune that explores the darkness that lies within all of us. The first verse talks about the shadows creeping in silently like a fire that burns within our souls. The lyrics suggest that we all have hidden desires that we keep buried deep inside, and these desires fuel our fears, failures and the ghosts that haunt us.


The chorus talks about lighting fires at midnight and feeling a thousand voices call out to us, causing our skin to crawl. The imagery of creeping shadows in the darkness of the night is the perfect metaphor for the ghosts that we all carry with us. The ghost inside us wails and screams, reminding us of our shortcomings and failures that have brought us to this place.


The second verse suggests that we can no longer hide the fear deep within us. The hands from the left and the eyes from the right, and the million shadows closing in create a sense of panic and despair. The fire in the hills represents the danger of the ghosts that follow us and the sin and agony of every minute of our existence.


Overall, "Ghosts" is a beautifully written song that dives deep into the psyche of human nature, the fears and desires that often go unnoticed.
