Bloodline While The City Sleeps Lyrics

While The City Sleeps Lyrics

[Music:Sasrof, Set; Lyrics:MC900]







Stealing down an alley in the cold dark night



I see a nalo in the rain round street light



I stop and look and listen to the sound



As the raindrops penetrates the silence all around



Alone I gaze into the glistening street



A distant thuder echoing my heart beat



Urging me on to a secret goal



Away from this lights



From this lamp on a pole



So I turn to sleep away into the rain



Drifting like a spirit through the shadows in the lane



clutching the tools of my trade in my hand



An old boxe of matches and a gasoline can



Darkness envelops the scene like a shroud



A veil of emptiness hang from the clouds



Filling up the cracks in the desolate place



Cradled by the night in an icy embrace 







Moving through the town like a ghost in the rain



A dim reflection in a dark windowpane



blackness bockons from every side



Creeping all around all round like an incoming tide



A broken window in an empty house



I slip inside and begin to douse



The whole place with the fuel that will feed the fire



And push back the night, taking me higher



on out of the darkness in a deathly roar



The match in my hand is the key to the door



A single turn of the wrist will suffice



to open up a passage to paradise



I pause I think about the past and the gloom



The smell of gasolijne permeats the room



Every one has a little secrets he keeps



I like the fires while the city sleeps 







The match makes a graceful are to the floor



And tymes stands still when I turn for the door



whic explodes in a fire ball and throws me to the street



I hit the ground with the flames at my feet



Reaching for the night which recoils in the fire



the rain drops hiss like a devilish choir



Dying in the flames with a terrible sound



Calling all the names of the sleepers all-around



But then in the arms of the night they lay



therir dreams sprout wings and fly away



Out of their houses in a gathering flock



Swarming over head as hurry down the block



I make my escape with the greatest of ease



And safe in the darkness drop to my knees



at a lightless the window my hand on the latch



I reach down my pocket



and pull out a match...
