Space Ghosts
By Bruce Alan Marcom
[Verse]
Into the abyss, our ship takes flight,
Landing on a world, shrouded in night.
Ancient ruins whisper of a civilization lost,
A mystery awaits, at a haunting cost.
[Verse 1]
Glacial winds howl through the crumbling stone,
We tread on the ground, where silence has grown.
Structures stand solemn, like tombs of the past,
Secrets buried deep, in shadows cast.
Our scanners detect remnants of life,
Technology forgotten, amidst the strife.
Where are the people who once called this home?
An eerie stillness, in this realm we roam.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 1]
Space ghosts of the forgotten, call through the dark,
Whispers of lives that once left their mark.
We search for the answers, but the truth lies bare,
In this haunted land, a tale of despair.
Space ghosts of the forgotten, lost in the night,
A civilization vanished, erased from sight.
One by one, our crew starts to fade,
Snared by the shadows, in silence they're laid.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Through the ruins, we wander, but fear starts to grow,
A presence surrounding, a chilling blow.
Something watches us, from the depths of the stone,
One by one, my crewmates are drawn to the unknown.
We call out their names, but the silence remains,
The air thick with tension, our minds filled with strains.
The first to go missing, lost in the night,
We can't shake the feeling, we're losing the fight.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2]
Space ghosts of the forgotten, call through the dark,
Whispers of lives that once left their mark.
We search for the answers, but the truth lies bare,
In this haunted land, a tale of despair.
Space ghosts of the forgotten, lost in the night,
A civilization vanished, erased from sight.
One by one, our crew starts to fade,
Snared by the shadows, in silence they're laid.
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Alone now, I stand, as the last of the crew,
Something approaches, in the darkness it grew.
A flash of insight, the truth comes to light,
This world is a graveyard, a thief in the night.
I sprint to the ship, heart pounding in fear,
The space ghosts surround me, the end is so near.
As I launch through the stars, leaving the doom,
I glance at the planet, a desolate tomb.
[Electric Guitar and violin duet]
[Final Chorus]
Space ghosts of the forgotten, call through the dark,
Whispers of lives that once left their mark.
We search for the answers, but the truth lies bare,
In this haunted land, a tale of despair.
Space ghosts of the forgotten, lost in the night,
A civilization vanished, erased from sight.
I escaped the shadows, but the echoes remain,
Of those who were lost, in silence and pain.
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
In the depths of the cosmos, their story will fade,
But the space ghosts will linger, a haunting cascade.
A reminder to all, as we wander through space,
Of civilizations lost, in the vastness of place.
[Instrumental]
