Spectres & Ghosts Songtext
von Elephants Through The Alps

Leather boots step on the killing field
Breath hangs in crystals of ice
Bayonets fixed and ready to charge
Both sides believe that they′re right

Bodies crash down all around
The air filled with chaos and smoke
The forward lines throb as shells and hearts burst
The wine of youth stains the snow

The light of life begins to fade
"My God! Where are you?!" they cry
No man's land is a terrible place
For so many souls to die


At dusk the guns fall silent
No more charges of men against hope
The dead lie frozen where they fell
A world of specters and ghosts

The light of life begins to fade
"My God! Where are you?!" they cry
No man′s land is a terrible place
For so many souls to die

What is the price of freedom?
The cost of arrogance is more
We live and we learn and we fight and we die
And yet we learn nothing from war


The light of life begins to fade
"My God! Where are you?!" they cry
No man's land is a terrible place
For so many souls to die
So many souls to die
So many souls to die
So many souls to die
So many souls to die
