Featuring distorted electric guitar and an ominous beat, the song explores how the shadow of the past lingers ('The Ghost'), even after the throne sits empty. NSN captures the tension, the poisoned well of buried truths, and the vultures circling amidst the ruins, questioning the path forward from the ashes. It's a raw reflection on revolution's aftermath, the fragile whisper of freedom ('Freedom's a whisper, scared it might fall'), and the ghosts that walk the streets in the wake of dramatic change.
From the artist NSN - Nerve Storm Now, this track provides a powerful sonic commentary on recent historical events.

**Lyrics:**
[Verse 1]
Dust hangs heavy on Damascus road
Stone kings tumble, rust eats the load.
Angry shouts echo off a painted wall,
Freedom's a whisper, scared it might fall.
Change blew strange, a sudden hard gust,
Left a silence screamin', turnin' hope into dust.
[Verse 2]
Throne sits empty now, the gates swing wide,
But the old ruler's shadow, got nowhere to hide.
A cold wind howls through the palace stone,
His chill still lingers, felt when you're alone.
Yes, his long shadow, you feel it ain't gone,
Among the ruins waitin' for a broken dawn.
[Verse 3]
Truths long buried, chains lie undone,
But the well is poisoned beneath the sun.
Vultures circle with a greedy eye,
Men with maps watchin' the borders fly.
Profit-men gather from lands far away,
Waitin' to pick the bones at the end of the day.
[Outro]
Night comes creepin', ghosts walk the street,
Fractured promises, taste bitter-sweet.
Just the cold memory... a chill runnin' deep...
While the city tries hard now, Lord, to sleep.
