From the recording Life's Rear View Mirror
Lyrics
Gathering of Ghosts is a song about memories. How these ghosts can fog your thinking or sharpen your view. They do have power over our decisions. We must approach these ghosts with caution.
"A Gathering of Ghosts"
(Lyrics: M. Novak, C. Webster - Music: M. Novak)
Ghosts are memories, dreams or desires
They haunt you with the power that they’ve acquired
You must let go of fear for the ghosts to appear
They cast their spell but their motives aren’t clear
Once you call them they will control you
They can fog your thinking or sharpen your view
The power of their being is felt in your thoughts
The choices they offer are like casting of lots
CHORUS:
Gathering of ghosts - a spell is cast
Gathering of ghosts - invoking their power
Gathering of ghosts - reliving the past
Gathering of ghosts - to help not devour
What ghosts do you want to see
Spirits invoke the days of old
Traditions of the dead still take hold
Some ghosts of our past are recalled with joy
Other phantoms haunt us with intent to destroy
CHORUS:
Ghosts from the past sleep in our mind
Mistakes from the before recalled and defined
Past and present resolved at last
Not listening to your ghosts you’ll repeat the past
CHORUS:
