Ghosts of Our Fathers - Aviators

Searching for direction

Aimless and afraid

You dread to see the future come

And take your home away

It’s cold and unfamiliar

An outmoded charade

The hope of generations

Tossed aside, betrayed

You’ve been waiting for the truth to come find you

Are you speaking for yourself or your pain?

Do you sleep in the silence to wane the passing shame?

You are more than what your history made you

Let the ghosts of our fathers pass on

There’s a new dawn to come when the past mistakes are gone

And now they’re gone

Raised by hate and anger

Fueled with nation’s pride

The time of change is coming

When the old beliefs have died

Make your choice enlightened

You can’t trust the lies

Don’t choose their side of history

Leave the old world far behind

You’ve been waiting for the truth to come find you

Are you speaking for yourself or your pain?

Do you sleep in the silence to wane the passing shame?

You are more than what your history made you

Let the ghosts of our fathers pass on

There’s a new dawn to come when the past mistakes are gone

And now they’re gone

And you feel misunderstood

Not succeeding like you should

But the game says you aren’t strong enough

Work hard enough

You’ve been blaming friends you knew

But we all are victims too

Restricted by the ghosts of days

Long passed away

You’ve been waiting for the truth to come find you

Are you speaking for yourself or your pain?

Do you sleep in the silence to wane the passing shame?

You are more than what your history made you

Let the ghosts of our fathers pass on

There’s a new dawn to come when the past mistakes are gone

And now they’re gone
