lyrics

The Ghost of Freedom Written by Silent Bear

There's a crack in the liberty bell.
Where the Ghost of Freedom rings
There's a big white house in the center of town
Where the fallen angels sing
There's a crack in the liberty bell
Where the people stand divided
They went over the line and committed a crime
and Behold the tower fell

Chorus:
Cold dreams and ashes are flying toward the sun
Cold dreams and ashes are fading one by one in the
Light of the sun

There's a crack in the liberty bell
Where the soldiers are still dying
They sent them to war to even the score
but both sides bled in red
There's a crack in the liberty bell
Where the locusts are all swarming
He turned the water to blood and drowned them in the sea
and Behold the raging flood

Chorus:

There's a crack in the National Soul
Where the world is overturning
They built their estate on a burial ground
and now the Ghosts are rising up
There's a crack in the liberty bell
Where the Native shrills are chanting
On the edge of the night in the core of a dream
You could hear that tolling bell

Chorus:
