[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] The blackened sky is charred and deep Above the concrete's city sleep I’ve grown accustomed to this hue It stays the same in all I do [Verse 2] I scan the ridge for any sign To find those ancient friends of mine The heavy night is coming down They have no place within this town [Chorus] The stars are blocked by every light That shines across the street tonight Behind the veil, they’re burning still But they can’t break the city’s will [Verse 3] The moon is lonely in the sky Yet stays alive as time goes by The stars are far and lose their place They have no way to show their face [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] I know the end is not yet near In skies where they can shine so clear But underneath this black abyss I feel the weight of what I miss [Chorus] The stars are blocked by every light That shines across the street tonight Behind the veil, they’re burning still But they can’t break the city’s will [Outro] I’ll heave this ache inside my chest And give this useless hunt a rest. There’s nothing left up there to see, It’s dark enough inside of me. [End]
