"Enemy Ghost" is a song included on the sixth album Conquer, released in 2008. The song was proposed to be titled "War Ghost", until Max Cavalera changed it to "Enemy Ghost" after replacing 'war ghost' in the lyrics with 'enemy ghost', because according to Max, ghosts are enemies but they don't necessary start wars.
Hence its title, the lyrics talks about the spirit of an enemy.
Lyrics
You are the enemy
You are the enemy ghost
Unleash within
I turn your soul to dust
You are the enemy
You are the enemy ghost
The Oath is broken
I'll take and crush your world
You are the enemy
You are the enemy ghost
Declare war
I turn your soul to stone
You are the enemy
You are the enemy ghost
The fear killer
I fucking stand alone
I'm calling all the spirits, In this ritual killing
I'm calling all the spirits, Rise above and rise within
I'm calling all the spirits, In darkness we scream
I'm calling all the spirits, Rise above and rise within
I'm calling all the spirits, Killing instincts
I'm calling all the spirits, Rise above and rise within
I'm calling all the spirits, Sacrifice all things
I'm calling all the spirits, Rise above and rise within
You are the enemy
You are the enemy ghost
In Desolation
But were never alone
You are the enemy
You are the enemy ghost
The world is exploding
Their souls are burning...
