Respite On The Spitalfields

We are here in the after

Of a murderous crafter

The past

Is spun like a yarn and mangled

With flesh and blood and bones

I wonder

Did no one hear the distant thunder?

The autumnal reaper

The stains of this creeper

Will last

The shine and the sham entangled

Like salting earth with tears of Jesus

He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces

For the dreams that you dread

Can becomе just as real

As the blood that was shed

With thе slash of his steel

Now the street walking dead

Was quite a scene, wasn't it?

For the lost and mislead

Were promised seats by the pit

We will break away together

I will be the shadow

You will be the light

Nothing ever lasts forever

We will go softly into the night

We are leaving this city

So this is farewell

Goodbye Seven Sisters

And Saint Jezebel

The Moon in the gutter

Has a story to tell

One day he will come back

From the bowels of hell

He appeared to ascend

So we all stood there in awe

Now we have to pretend

We did not see what we saw

When the curtain unveiled

To the sound of applause

For the king that we hailed

Was the Wizard of Oz

We will break away together

I will be the shadow

You will be the light

Nothing ever lasts forever

We will go softly into the night

Nothing ever lasts forever

We will go softly into the night
