lyrics

Bogdan:
Ruin’s road, through lowlands grim and wild
winds beneath a sky of ash and trials
the greens of leaves remembered from your youth
are faded now all the colors mute and subdued

i saw the ghosts along the road to hell's bordello
i saw the shades that line the way to desolation's ghetto
they said look back on the trail that you have sown
i saw the the ghosts on ruins road

Ruin’s road won't get you what you lost
the toll is steep, it's you who are the cost
but with some luck, it leads to just one place
where blood will lick along your hungry blade one day

i saw the ghosts along the road to hell's bordello
i saw the shades that line the way to desolation's ghetto
they said look back on the trail that you have sown
i saw the the ghosts on ruins road

Brija:
It's weeks that Bogdan walk as
his color slowly fades
he see the dead around him
one day at last he nears the gates

specters pass before him
but one it lingers, stays
the wife he left so long ago
the woman he forsake


Danijela:
where was my angel
in my time of need
where was the man who
swore he'd be there for me

i lost my baby, my heart
then you left, walked out the door
you'd swore that you would make it right
but who'd you make it right then for?

where was my angel
right by my side
who could i lean on
when i broke down and cried

where was my angel
when i was in grief
where was my husband
who swore he truly loved me

you talked a lot of justice
what the people they deserved
i didn't know you didn't mean
the wife, no help for her

you surely meant your mates down
at the hole where you would drink
the girls you leered and flirted with
whose perfume trails left such a stink

and the memory of your father,
and the country you believed
each and every person that was
that was in it, cept for me

where was my angel
when i hit my low
who tried to hold me
on the day my heart broke

who tried to help me
as i went mad so slow
who tried to mourn me
when i died all alone

Bogdan:
i am sorry my love
i was fiery and young
so swept up and in love
with my own bleeding hearts blood

all that drama i craved
well it roared through and came
and left nothing else
but this last road to hell

ruins road leads to just one place
when all that's sweet has long since gone away
nothing came of anything you did
except this one last score to fix this one last sin

i saw the ghosts along the road to hell's bordello
i saw the shades that line the way to desolation's ghetto
they said look back on the trail that you have sown
i saw the the ghosts on ruins road

about

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
