Streets half-familiar that I once called home...
The breath of phantoms now fogs the light;
The skin I shuffled strangely outgrown
Fallen, the city of night
Lost geographics of mortar and lime
Formed the arena for fight or flight;
All's buried under the leafstorm of time
Fallen in the city of night
Fallen the city of night
All of the fences overblown
All of the gardens overgrown
All of the towers overthrown;
All that I knew shall be over
Become unkown
In the city of night
I know that I've been here before
I know that I've been here before
But that was in another lifetime
What once seemed blessed now feels accursed
With words the spendthrift burned by candlelight
But now this miser's mouth is pursed:
Fallen, the city of night
I know that I've been here before
But that was in another lifetime
