[Verse 1]
You awoke in a burning paperhouse
From the infinite fields of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiananmen
An eyewitness in a shroud

[Pre-Chorus]
To see them fall
Feel them yield
Relieving the terror
Of the crowd

[Chorus]
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Just for a moment, I seemed to know
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

[Verse 2]
The whisper of your scream sighed through the air
And faith, the flag is torn and frayed
Inferno heat, glory in flame
Love was beaten and betrayed

[Pre-Chorus]
In every step
I hear your sobbing
Dare I break the shade
With one caress?
[Chorus]
Dare I trespass to lift the veil
To touch the lips so soft and frail?
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

[Pre-Chorus]
Your captive heart
The belief you share
With a kiss eternal
Spirits of the square

[Chorus]
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Hope remains with the ghost in you
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

[Outro]
Don't let it blow
The ghost in you
The ghost in you
