Ghosts Of Coventry

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Grey skies hanging over ring roads wide, Echoes of the past that never seem to hide. From cathedral ruins to the phoenix flame, Every broken stone still remembers every name. The factories thundered, the whistles blew, Hands built the future for me and you. But time moved on, the jobs slipped away, Leaving silent streets where dreams decay. (Pre-Chorus) Yet every scar tells a story, Every crack lets the light break through… (Chorus) These are the scars of Coventry, Worn with pride for the world to see. From the bombs that fell to the hopes we keep, The city’s heart still beats so deep. Steel and spirit, brick by brick, Never gave up, never quit. These are the scars of Coventry— And they’re part of me. (Verse 2) Saturday crowds in Broadgate Square, Laughter rising through the air. Sky Blues singing through the rain, Losing some, but back again. Lady Godiva rides forever, A symbol saying “strong together.” The old and new stand side by side, A city’s soul that won’t divide. (Bridge) You can knock us down, we’ll rise once more, Like we’ve done a thousand times before. Every generation leaves its mark, Turning ashes into sparks. These are the ghosts of Coventry!!! (Final Chorus) These are the scars of Coventry, Every road and memory. From the cathedral bells to the factory floor, We’ll keep coming back for more. Through the darkness, through the fire, Holding on to our desire. These are the scars of Coventry— A city that wears its scars with dignity
