The album sets into music the human behavior misdirected by "ghost lights". The title track "Ghost Lights" describes the systematic destruction of planet Earth by mankind in search for power and wealth. "Prey" illustrates the meaningless hunt to urge and the associated urge to kill. "On The Run" questions the mental state of man, who is sawing off the branch they are sitting on. "Chivvy" uncovers the brutal recklessness of man among themselves. "Fen-Fire" brands the non-existing perception of global problems and the resulting dire consequences.
