Karaoké Respite on the Spitalfields Ghost (band)

We're 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

Ah

Can become just as real

As the blood that was shed

Ah

With the slash of his steel

Now the street walking dead

Ah

Was quite a scene wasn't it

For the lost and mislead

Ah

Were promised seats by the pit

We will break away together

I'll be the shadow you'll be the light

Nothing ever lasts forever

We will go softly into the night

We're 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

Ah

So we all stood there in awe

Now we have to pretend

Ah

We didn't see what we saw

When the curtain unveiled

Ah

To the sound of applause

That the king that we hailed was the Wizard of Oz

We will break away together

I'll be the shadow you'll 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
