We Came As Romans - Ghosts Lyrics






Bad habits are ghosts haunting me
A thought that never leaves
From when I wake until I sleep
To seek haven in my dreams
Where I feel I can finally breathe
Forget everything
Away from my reality

Because as long as I stay here
I won't face my fears
Right now I fear myself
And what my heart held

The worst words or warmest heart
Self-serving or selfless love
The worst words or warmest heart
Self-serving or selfless love

I will scream 'til the breath is gone from my lungs
I will scream 'til it's gone
I will leave all the rest of my ghosts behind
I will leave them behind

Ghosts haunting me aren't defining me
Ghosts taunting me are reminding me

Change the way you act,
Change the way you act, not just the way you think
Change the way you live, live the way you claim
Words are just words, until they're put to work
And it will be actions, not words, that change this earth

Change the way you act
Change the way you live

Change (Change)
Change (Change)
Change the way you act, not just the way you think
Not just the way you think, way you think
Change the way you live, live by the words you say
Live by the words you say, words you say

I will scream 'til the breath is gone from my lungs
I will scream 'til it's gone
I will leave all the rest of my ghosts behind
I will leave them behind

Change the way you act, not just the way you think
Change the way you live, live the way you claim
Words are just words, until they're put to work
And it will be actions, not words, that change this earth.
(Change the way you live)

    Darn those ghosts...seriously we are battling alot of stuff...these are the end times my friends

  26. b.... m....

    Hey I know these people in person

  27. S.... W....

    No matter what genre this is. I will forever love them for making this song. One of my favourite songs of all time ! :)

  28. E.... ....

    Jazz/indie and some many other genres are not metal... Are they bad at all? Listen to something you like and don't let your own shit go out.

  29. J.... G....

    this is the song that brought me into this kind of rock lol, I love this song so much

  30. C.... B....

    ...and won't rest until...

  31. D.... P....

    Uuuuahhhh. That's terrible. Is this the reunion of the Backstreet Boys? Scream-pop? What is that? I bet their favorite band is Slayer...

  32. A.... 2....

    I saw them live last Sunday for the first time and must say, the are SO UNDERRATED!!

    A.... 2....

    yeaaaa 1,5 million likes on facebook sooooo underrated

  33. S.... K....

    best their song for me (except for chorus though). Just want to crash everything around

  34. R.... M....

    This comment section though. I see more people complaining about others complaining than actual people just complaining. lmao.

  35. A.... K....

    I just cant get enough of this album. To plant a seed and tracing back roots are my 2 favorite

  36. C.... F....

    I think I love this band

  37. S.... U....

    BEST SONG!!!!!

  38. D.... G....

    I love the song i just wish there were so some heavier vocals in there sometimes

  39. S.... W....

    If you haven't seen these guys live, you're missing out.

    S.... W....

    BRO I WANT TO! But literally every time they arent playing in my area. No license sucks cuz id totally drive to Kentucky or Michigan to see them. But if they arent playing in PA or OH i cant. It sucks

  40. S.... ....

    Bad habits are ghosts haunting me
    A thought that never leaves
    From when I wake until I sleep

    I won't face my fears
    Right now I fear myself
    And what my heart held

    The worst words or warmest heart
    Self-serving or selfless love
    The worst words or warmest heart
    Self-serving or selfless love

    I will scream 'til the breath is gone from my lungs
    I will scream 'til it's gone
    I will leave all the rest of my ghosts behind
    I will leave them behind

    S.... ....

    +SWdaniel that fucking picture omgggggggggg

  41. S.... B....

    Nice Video and awesome Band !

  42. M.... _....

    this sounds new

  43. i.... ....

    Okay so a girl i was talking to asked me "What does icameasaroman mean? why do you have it as your username on everything?"   I told her because of We Came As Romans..   She said "The singer is a dick".   Me and her no longer talk :) hahahaha!   True story!

    i.... ....

    sure sure

    i.... ....

    Lol.  Because someone named "Wadeforce" should be taken so seriously >:).  

    @Sonia Sykes   Thanks sweetie:)  

    i.... ....

    @iCameAsARoman She doesn't know what the hell she was talking about!!

    i.... ....

    iCameAsARoman Clearly you're an iCarly fan.

    i.... ....

    Wadeforce *you're

  44. t.... ....

    They are so much better when the clean singer shut the fuck up

  45. J.... ....

    I remember all of heavy MTL last year until they played this song, Gave it all i had! awesome song. love this band.

  46. L.... ....

    And it will be action!

  47. A.... ....

    They sound like architects  <3

  48. B.... ....

    Would kill to see them live

    B.... ....

    fuck you

    B.... ....

    @James Halpert This band puts on a godlike show. No lie.

  49. S.... ....

    I am 19, in college, and love WCAR.
    These guys have have been making music since back when I was in elementary school and still sound great.

    Also, why does every band have to sound like Meshuggah or Periphery just to be considered metal? 

    S.... ....

    I think were in the same boat my friend.

    S.... ....

    @Solaniin Exactly

    S.... ....

    They've been making music for that long!? I actually didn't know that haha

    S.... ....

    Me neither!

    S.... ....

    @Solaniin Not every "hard" music is automatically metal?

  50. P.... ....

    Andy always gave the best stage perfomances ever

  51. K.... K....

    Lyrically the first step to this 'spiritual awakening' we have to go threw. thank you.. hahahah. 'You might have came with the romans.. but they traced your roots back and
     left you with the lyrans'

  52. E.... ....

    This band is the best! They are soo amazing live, loved you in Baltimore!!! When you left the crowd did not stop chanting until you came back out, how many times does that happen?!!! :D We love you!!

    E.... ....

    TattedGirlsRHawt69 Everytime a headliner plays a rock show. Called an encore bro lol. They're coming back to Baltimore on Monday though.

  53. h.... ....

    The beginning sounds a bit too close to If You Can't Live WIthout Me Why Aren't You Dead Yet by Mayday Parade, maybe a coincidence?

  54. 1.... ....

    Not my cup of tea... sucks bigtime.
    Shitty rip off with a lack of originality

    1.... ....

    Your shitty. If u didn't like, don't be here to comment that. Keep it yourself. Ever heard the expression don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all? Guess not. Everyone forgot that rule.

    1.... ....

    @Timmy Scott : what do you know about music sjimmy shit. Shut the fuck up or I'll come as a Roman and annihalate you!!

    1.... ....

    Such a keyboard warrior. Aren't u tough? It's just the Internet. Calm down please !!

  55. J.... D....

    Well.... im glad im not epileptic.

    J.... D....

    If want epileptic search kanye west-niggas in paris
    Damn that video give me epileptic

  56. A.... S....

    The funniest part is when the boy band singer has to just stand there doing nothing while the other guy screams. What a dumb band.

    A.... S....

    @Aaron Coal Live, the clean vocalist actually does keyboard as well as scream along with Dave. 

    A.... S....

    Keyboard in a metal band.. nothing gayer than that!

    A.... S....

    Man I agree, this band isn't that good, but you're a hater. Hating something is retarded. If you don't like this band, why do you waste time to look the clip and listen the song, you're more stupid than the second singer of that band.

    A.... S....

    @Jean-Pierre Foucault It's the internet. Is this your first day? Welcome!

    A.... S....

    @Aaron Coal More gay. Nothing I hate more than bad grammar. And it's not metal. It's Post-Hardcore. Just like many other Kick-ass bands. Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Bring me the Horizon, My Chemical Romance, etc. 

  57. n.... ....

    Great live performance great tones great message, i lke this. not anything to yell about but still awesome.

  58. T.... T....

    Pure metalcore

    T.... T....

    Lol nope ! I'm a WCAR fan, but this ain't pure metalcore..

    T.... T....

    Lol yes!!
    They're

    T.... T....

    Then which band is pure metalcore???

    T.... T....

    I think killswitch engaged, WCAR, woe is me, bfmv, etc are good metalcore I'd know, but Bmth and aa aren't metalcore

    T.... T....

    Tijolparouje Tom you know nothing noob

  59. S.... S....

    Omg look at all this different opinions, whatever will I do?!

  60. K.... S....

    .-. This vocalist is tone-deaf... how are these guys more successful than OnceOver and Etched in Red?

    K.... S....

    @Dennis Burgess The dozens of bands who are better than these overrated curs. In particular, Etched in Red, OnceOver, Six Side Die, APG, Avatar, Cathercist, Flawed Element, Index Case, Amorphis, etc, etc.

    K.... S....

    @King Sarathos There's a reason why no one has ever heard of any of those bands you mentioned, just saying lololololol

    K.... S....

    @killerhippo10 Yeah. Marketing. Quit being stupid.

    K.... S....

    @killerhippo10 Don't worry, bro. I've got your back.

    Here, try this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+be+a+successful+troll

    K.... S....

    @killerhippo10 So, is that why no one has ever heard of you?

  61. �.... ....

    To Japan, I'll be waiting in Tokyo and Fukuoka Welcome.

  62. J.... P....

    Madrid :3333

  63. A.... S....

    If you're a metal band and your audience is filled with 14 year old girls.... you're doing it wrong.

    A.... S....

    you commented twice just to bitch wow

    A.... S....

    you're doing it right if you have success with the music you actually love and like to play

    A.... S....

    Amen, everyone knows fat, bearded male social rejects should be in the audience.

    A.... S....

    @***** That burn.

    A.... S....

    @Aaron Stigall seen We Came As Romans before and at least 80% of the audience was adults. You don't know sh!t 😂

  64. L.... L....

    I love WE CAME AS ROMANS  ever 4

  65. J.... H....

    I love how much it shows Joshua in this video he doesn't get as much recognition as he deserves

    J.... H....

    Especially since he writes the lyrics.

  66. T.... M....

    well at least they're not generic :)

  67. E.... L....

    You can't really say anything bad about this band because they are all really good at what they do

  68. C.... P....

    They suck so bad now.

  69. C.... K....

    Dudes wearin a Parkway Drive shirt. Nice...

  70. O.... ....

    This is the stupidest band name I've ever seen... what happened to metal?

    O.... ....

    What does a band name have to do with being metal?

    O.... ....

    All the good names like "Death" and "slayer" are taken.

    O.... ....

    Stupid band names have been around for years, I personally thought this one sounded pretty decent but it's not like they really matter that much anyway, plus it's not just 'metal' either. Think about it, Limp Bizkit, Iwrestledabearonce, Dananananaykroyd, Gay For Johnny Depp, Smashing Pumpkins, Puddle of Mudd, Goo Goo Dolls, The The, The Mr. T Experience, Panic! At The Disco, Chumbawamba, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Thirty-Odd Foot of Grunts and even '!!!' ..the list goes on. These are all ridiculous band names, some with even more ridiculous stories behind them. Anyway, point is, shouldn't determine how good 'metal' is based on a band name.

  71. C.... ....

    another mediocre song, really trying to get into this, impossible, sry WCAR this is so boring

    C.... ....

    Listen to their old stuff, it's better.

    C.... ....

    What should I listen to to know the words and the songs they will play live? Seeing them in Asheville NC on october 1st

  72. M.... ....

    WCAR is so good.... Why can't people just enjoy the music and not fight in comment sections smh

    M.... ....

    Because the vocalist is tone-deaf.

    M.... ....

    I agree with you on that i love them

  73. F.... ....

    Like wecar but never liked how the clean vocalist never sings.. No vibratos or anything.. He basically just chants...

  74. e.... ....

    never been as disappointed by something with 'roman' in it as i am now.

  75. T.... ....

    BEAUTY <3

  76. h.... ....

    Ewww cleans.

  77. T.... B....

    I like this band and have for a very long time now. I could give a shit how people categorize music into genres. Just enjoy what you like and the rest of them can fuck off.

    Metal or whatever who cares what anyone thinks. If you like it keep on listening. If you don't like it then move on to something you like. Very simple.

  78. M.... J....

    For all those idiots out there: this band isn't supposed to be metal, they're post-hardcore, which is an entirely different genre than metal.

    M.... J....

    Mormon Jesus It's actually a subgenre of metal

  79. J.... T....

    This is amazing!!

  80. L.... ....

    My bands playing with these guys at Wild Wild Fest \m/ if anybody is interested un tickets feel free to msg me for more info.

  81. S.... ....

    WCAR is love, WCAR is life

  82. J.... A....

    Just saying people that are judging them dont know music its sad how all the bands respect each other but some people who watch this cant there famous for a reason cause they worked to where they are and they made it so quit you whining you may not like it but others do

  83. K.... M....

    Wow this is like the best songs I listened to

    K.... M....

    Balast - Nothing More
    Sniper in the Bell Tower - OnceOver
    Glaive - Etched in Red
    Runaway - Hail the Villain

    You're welcome.

  84. h.... ....

    imho best metal from usa, realy dissapointed that they canceled concert in Russia : \

  85. C.... H....

    I see a lot of people saying that We Came As Romans aren't "Metal". Well there's a lotvof sub-genres of metal in this era, like Alternative Metal and Thrasher to Black Metal, Deathcore, and yes even Hardcore. Hell even Emo, Post Hardcore, and Screamo are "Metal" nowdays. and the people saying that they're a part of the death of music that is regurgitating the same message, guess what all music has been saying the same thing and pushing the same image since the 80's. Music is music, respect it for the talent, thought, and effort put into it and not your own personal bias.

    C.... H....

    That's not metal, i love them but it's more like.. softcore/electronicore/screamo, but not metal

  86. Z.... ....

    God I hate this music scene...I listened to this type of music and this band throughout middle school and early high school. God damn they are exactly the same, if not more dull than before. Everyone band I listened to has either gone full "Hardcore" or is still making the same shit. Will no one ever try to evolve or change? If not this genre of music could find itself dying out, more sooner than later. 

  87. A.... A....

    Why are people crying if something isn't metal? As far as I'm concerned, if it's a good song in my opinion, I will listen to it. Everyone else should do the same. Music is so much better if you realize all the different kinds of music out there

    A.... A....

    Technically it kind of does... Its all a matter of taste if its good, in the pop genre, Justin Bieber could be up there with the best. Same thing here, in this type of music, WCAR are pretty popular and are good. Sales are how people show that they like a band and support them. The more merch a band sells could translate to how much fans they have and can be considered good on that standard.

    A.... A....

    Obvious troll is obvious. Hopefully you lose your virginity or move out of your parent's basement soon.

    A.... A....

    @Al Alberqurque That wasn't even directed at you, it was directed at PC Master Race, you fucking idiot. I love WCAR, minus their last album.

    A.... A....

    Their only good album was to plant a seed. Each album has a song or two that are gems but they went downhill since their first album. But I agree with the main comment. All because you don't like it doesn't mean others shouldn't. Everyone had their own taste in music and as long as it isn't shit like Lil yatte and "musicians" like that. Lmao. They're not even music. It's Just mumbling to a stolen beat

    A.... A....

    @Valhalla Awaits kys

  88. J.... H....

    Nothing will ever compare to the "To Plant A Seed" album, ever.

  89. A.... H....

    This is AMAZING !! :D

  90. K.... R....

    Seriously guys, stop hating on the band because of shitheads commenting about this being "metal"
    I don't think it's metal as well. (don't get me wrong, I love this band) Hate on the shitheads, not on the video/band.

    K.... R....

    It's not metal, it's Melodic Metalcore, and post-hardcore.

    K.... R....

    @Gabriel Smith
    Nailed it

  91. b.... ....

    Great song and lyrics!

  92. N.... ....

    Awesome!

  93. F.... M....

    #yhwh  

  94. T.... B....

    2:02 best part

  95. K.... A....

    If you don't like this music then why are you here and why even bother commenting out of spite

  96. J.... ....

    Why is this video through nuclear blast records? WCAR is with equal vision... right?

  97. M.... R....

    This is actually an awesome song and a well put together video. We came as romans has been bringing it since they began. Its nice to listen to because of the positive vocals and they actually put thought into their vocals. Great Band, just not one of those bands that I can listen to nonstop.

  98. D.... S....

    I miss the days when live videos like this actually featured a live recording not just footage.

    D.... S....

    just look the video on the impericon channel and you'll be very pleased :)
    they're a german crew for merch, tours, promotions, videos etc. 
    they have a lot of professional filmed live videos.

    watch?v=WI1PZO-Q_iI hope you like it ;)

    D.... S....

    Like beartooth's live video
