Respite On The Spitalfields

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 dreamt
 Can become just as real
 As the blood that was shed
 With the 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'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
 So we all stood there in awe
 Now we have to pretend
 We didn't see what we saw
 When the curtain unveiled
 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
