Lightning In A Twilight Hour

The world of shadows

Is far from easy

To dismiss

When midnight comes

Hand in hand

With loneliness

Feverish desire

Hypnotised by pleasure

Stories befitting the weather

That howls and hammers

Magnifies the shivers

Of brothers and sisters together

 

Failing stars wander pathless

The pale moon's no longer at home

Failing stars wander pathless

The pale moon's no longer at home

And you can almost touch what's closing in

And no one's sleeping

Storms on the lake

And no one's sleeping

 

Fleeing the narration

For ether and sedation

Ash on the wind

Faces in the lightning

The fall of rain and footsteps

Waking dreams

Candles in mid-afternoon

The sun obscured

The summerless year

Flitting and flickering

The mountain air is glittering

Sorcery's near

 

Failing stars wander pathless

The pale moon's no longer at home

Failing stars wander pathless

The pale moon's no longer at home

And you can almost touch what's closing in

And no one's sleeping

Storms on the lake

And no one's sleeping
