Ghost Hearts
Eternal Yearning: Unveiling Ghostly Desires in Hammers of Misfortune's 'Ghost Hearts'
Lyrics
Oh blissful peace
Expressing a desire for peacefulness.
You evade me still
Peace continues to elude the speaker.
Sinking quickly is the heart that bleeds
The heart is sinking rapidly due to bleeding.
With every ache you call from shores
Aches are invoked, calling from distant shores.
Of a distant world
Referring to a distant world.
One that's just beyond the brink
Describing a world just beyond a critical point.
Of no recourse
At the point of no return.
Oh blissful peace
Reiteration of the desire for blissful peace.
You elude me still
Peace remains elusive.
In this heart there lives a ghost
A ghost resides in the heart.
Say farewell
Expressing a farewell.
To the gentle waning moon
Bidding farewell to the waning moon.
It hangs so delicately
Describing the delicate hanging of the moon.
Here among the stars It shares a glow
The moon shares a glow among the stars.
Illuminating the way home
Illuminating the way home.

Where is the space

Takes my hand

You feel the pull
Feeling the pull of winter.

Usurping grounds
Grounds are taken by force.
In a bleeding gesture of a foe
Describing a bleeding gesture of an adversary.
Like a nightmare spawn
Comparing a foe to a nightmare spawn.
Relive the dream that calls
Reliving a dream that beckons.
You kept it warm
Keeping a dream warm.
Embracing misery in her ghost
Embracing misery personified in a ghost.
