Respite On The Spitalfields (Live At The Forum / 2023) Lyrics

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 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, 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, ah
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
