Iron in rubble's facades shines so bright
welter soils the face of the bitten by the tides
Streets suppurate grey poison shaded of bile
to forget the starch tightening our smiles
Black curtain falls and, naked,
Velvet night exhumes our hearts
Velvet night exhumes our hearts
Marionettes hanging on the power lines
Overflow the streets in a hollow eyed rush
Inside the cave still sparks the trembling fire
But shadow play crumbles under city lights
And then, just then, with star stained hands
Velvet night exhumes our hearts
Velvet night exhumes our hearts
