lyrics

Sun so sharp it cuts the air, digs shadows in the ground
A sky so blue it sucks life bare, the grays will then surround
The mists they gather silently, watch as they world passes
Voices whisper stridently of generations past

CHORUS
The working class built everything the suits are tearing down
Can’t you hear the screaming of the Ghosts of Griffintown

Factories and furnaces now skeletal remains
Echoes of the blood, the hope, the dreamers and their pain
The sentinels of history line Lachine Canal
Their hearts torn out to make way for mod condo banal

I hear the dreams, I hear the screams
I hear them calling me
I feel the shame, I feel their pain
I hear them calling me

The rails that cut the earth still wait for trains that never come
Share the town’s, the workers’ fate, their purpose long since done
A legacy that’s left so gaunt, a history in denial
The Ghosts are left to haunt the few that still remain behind
