lyrics

The Nightwatchman

The Nightwatchman calls.
Though daylight fails, I follow your shadow
Across graffitied walls. Where the black-lipped kiss of night says,

‘We turn in circles around the sun,
And take no blame for the evil we’ve done.’
As darkness falls,
The Nightwatchman calls.

The Nightwatchman calls.
In a moonless night, your sleep is uneasy.
All wisdom stalls.
Angry words of a gentle man tell me

That we turn in circles around the sun,
And take no blame for the evil we’ve done.
As darkness falls,
The Nightwatchman calls.

Soft words spoken.
We borrowed from you and returned it broken.
Turning, watching us all.
Twist his neck until he falls.

The Nightwatchman calls.
Though daylight fails, I follow your shadow
Behind factory walls. Where the black-lipped kiss of night says,

‘We turn in circles around the sun,
And take no blame for the evil we’ve done.’
As darkness falls…
