Gargoyles

[Verse 1] At midnight's toll, they start to wake as stone-bound limbs begin to break Their hollow eyes, a burning red watch over Paris’ streets of dread [Verse 2] The river hums, the city sleeps the freezing wind that blows and weeps screeming voices cut the air scary feelings, hard to bear [Chorus] Gargoyles wait with hollow eyes stone-bound whispers frozen cries Shadows twist and voices call night will take you body and soul [Verse 3] A drunken man walks all alone his steps like echoes over stone Above, the creatures start to stir their breath a dry and brittle purr [Verse 4] A shadow shifts, a claw extends as fate and darkness twist to blend He halts, his blood as cold as glass a figure waits along his path [Chorus] Gargoyles wait with hollow eyes stone-bound whispers frozen cries Shadows twist and voices call night will take you body and soul [Verse 5] A grin of stone, a mouth too wide the winged beast darts to his side No breath, no sound, no chance to flee just hissing horror endlessly [Pre-Chorus] By dawn, the streets are calm once more the church stands silent as before Yet tourists pause and stare in fright a new grim face now greets the light [Outro] Gargoyles wait (yes they wait) Gargoyles watch (they do whatch) Shadows twist and voices call (voices call) Shadows twist and voices call night will take you ... body and sooooul
