Your Ghost Deserves No Rest by Hell Calls Me
Your Ghost Deserves No Rest
Verse 1
You lingered when you should’ve gone
Your shadow crawls but can’t be strong
Every word you left behind
Is a chain I’ll never unwind
You wanted peace, you wanted grace
But I’ll leave nothing in your place
Pre-Chorus
I see your face in every night
But I refuse to make it right
Chorus
Your ghost deserves no rest
No forgiveness, no regret
I won’t lay you down
I won’t forget
Your ghost deserves no rest
No absolution, no caress
I carry the fire
And I won’t let it rest
Verse 2
You haunt the corners of my mind
A bitter echo left behind
I swallowed rage and fed the flame
You can’t rewrite the score of blame
You thought remorse would set you free
But chains of hatred belong to me
Pre-Chorus
I won’t kneel, I won’t pretend
Your shadow dies when I descend
Chorus
Your ghost deserves no rest
No forgiveness, no regret
I won’t lay you down
I won’t forget
Your ghost deserves no rest
No absolution, no caress
I carry the fire
And I won’t let it rest
Breakdown
No prayers
No tears
No end to fears
You left your mark
You lit the spark
But I control the dark
Verse 3
I carve my path through memory’s pain
Your shadow writhes but I remain
I won’t erase, I won’t condone
I claim the vengeance all my own
You wanted closure, wanted peace
But I let your unrest never cease
Bridge
Every step you take in sleep
Every word you think you keep
I’ll strike it down, I’ll snuff the air
Your ghost exists, but I don’t care
Chorus
Your ghost deserves no rest
No forgiveness, no regret
I won’t lay you down
I won’t forget
Your ghost deserves no rest
No absolution, no caress
I carry the fire
And I won’t let it rest
Final Breakdown
No mercy
No peace
Your ghost will never release
I rise
You fall
Your unrest is mine to call
Outro
Rest?
You don’t deserve it.
Not now.
Not ever.
