The Moonflower Society

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twilight falls, ghostly the hands That reach out for you Through the mist of these alien lands Swallowed away on the road to forever Like a storm the wraith of advance Forced its will upon you Sacred yesterdays, lucid and vast For a blink of an eye it's all coming together [Pre-Chorus] Like a relic of a long bygone time Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind Hold on - yeah [Chorus] Fire in the night I see ghosts, spectres light around me Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Fire in the night One by one - pictures gather round me Whеre those moonflowers usеd to grow Lost no more - spectres gather round here Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Night by night - stare into the black Where moonflowers used to grow [Verse 2] As I walk through the mist And the ruins of things that used to be Silent remnants of magical times A cabinet of curiosities Old companions and past Christmas ghosts Juvenile levity Sacred gatherings, pictures of days Swallowed away on the road to forever [Pre-Chorus] A covert society buried in time Once bent on survival Now kicked out of line Oh, I hold on... [Chorus] A fire in the night I see ghosts - spectres light around me Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Fire in the night One by one - pictures gather round me Where those moonflowers used to grow Lost no more - spectres gather round here Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Night by night - stare into the black Where moonflowers used to grow [Bridge] And quite suddenly Just as if somebody slammed the door Halcyon days buried in halcyon lore As silence prevails Fragments come passing me by Slipping right through A crevice in time, oh [Chorus] Fire in the night I see ghosts - spectres light around me Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Fire in the night One by one - pictures gather round me Where those moonflowers used to grow Lost no more - spectres gather round here Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Night by night - stare into the black Where moonflowers used to grow
