Song lyrics
This town has it's claws
Buried in my neck
This town, it takes lives
Without mercy
Without hate

The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies

The grass is growing
On top of my feet
I'm sinking
Won't be long
Before I'm too deep to run

The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs

We are the dead ones
We are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break
Our steps seal our fate

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts(ghosts) from broken homes(homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope(hope) left for these souls(souls)

Every step I take
I leave a small piece of myself behind
Soon there will be nothing left

The cracks in the pavement
Match the cracks in their weathered skin

The sky's a brick wall
The ground's a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer
Between them, I am caught

As I stare in amazement I can't believe
This is where I live

Every breath I take
I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass
I'm more scars than skin

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts(ghosts) from broken homes(homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope(hope) left for these souls(souls)

Our steps seal fate x2

This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls

This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls

This city, this city is haunted

Oh! Walk with us, Oh!
Down! Walk with us!

This city, this city is haunted
By ghosts(ghosts) from broken homes(homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope(hope) left for these souls(souls

This song does everything right. the sound that you hear is very full, the instruments in use are used to their full potential. The lyrics are great because they are very meaningful. and they can mean different things to different people all the time. And above all, the thing that i love most about this song is the stark contrast between the two types of vocals. The screamo and the soft (but strong!) voices work so well together, it gives a nice break from just one or the other. They use it to their advantage.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!

I know I've posted here before, but just had to say the video for this song is my all-time favourite. It's just gorgeous. So if you haven't already seen it check it out now (search for it on you tube).

these guys are an awesome band! exept, they don't sound like the alexis that i got hooked on, each song sounds like it's borrowing a different style, i mean, this is just my opinion and you probably all think i'm an idiot but, the new stuff sounds weird...to me. Sorry if i've offended anyone but i had to speak my mind. despite this, i'm still looking forward to hearing more stuff by AoF
