Monsters and Black Stones

The sound of midnight
Rings out on the cobbles

The moon has an eye on me
The night will be long

In the street light
Caught up by the fear

The rain begins to fall
Now the wind

Every street lamp seems to live
In every alleyway
Everything seems to be alive
And the dusk now slips away
I'm afraid, I must wait
For the sunrise

Now the monsters slide on the black stones
Tonight will stay a memory
Now I must pray for the new day
When the great bells will ring

I can hear the drip
Of water on cobbles

Unholy theatre
I'm smiling alone

In the moonlight
Condemned to wander

While families sleep
A shadow

Every street lamp seems to live
In every alleyway
Everything seems to be alive
And the dusk now slips away
I'm afraid, I must wait
For the sunrise

Now the monsters slide on the black stones
Tonight will stay a memory
Now I must pray for the new day
When the great bells will ring

Midnight light is hitting
The pavement
And the big moon is losing memory
A silence playing with the rain
In the Royal Mile with castles in the air

Now the monsters slide
On the black stones
Tonight will stay a memory
Now I must pray for the new day
When the great bells will ring
