Gungor - Ghosts Upon The Earth (album)

It’s an album that for me is best listened to in a candlelit room with a glass of wine.
There was a lot of work that went into this album, and a lot of subtlety that will be missed if the album is just played as background in the midst of life’s noise.
So to get the most out of this album, here’s what I recommend:  Get to a place where you can listen without distraction, and listen to the whole album one time through.
Then I recommend that you read the descriptions and interpretations of the songs on this album, keeping in mind that mine is but one interpretation, and you are free of course to have your own. I recommend this because I think it may help you recognize some of the nuances of the narrative’s direction that you may not have heard the first time through.
After that, listening to any of the songs at your leisure will be more meaningful, because the songs will be part of the larger perspective, the greater whole, if you will.
My hope is that this music will find its audience, because I think there are people out there who will connect with it in a meaningful way.  I know it does that for me.
And to those of you who are long-time fans and friends, thanks for sticking with us as we continue in this strange and quite enjoyable journey.

Lyrics:
Like the waters flooding the desert
Like the sunrise showing all things
Where it comes flowers grow
Lions sleep, gravestones roll
Where death dies all things live
Where it comes poor men feast
Kings fall down to their knees
When death dies all things live
All things live
Like a woman searching and finding love
Like an ocean buried and bursting forth
Where it comes flowers grow
Lions sleep, gravestones roll
Where death dies all things come alive
Where it comes water’s clean
Children fed
All believe
When death dies all things live
All things live
