City of Silence Lyrics

Home again from night-shift
A restless night ahead of me
Things that crawl at night
Are once again calling me
I saw it all in a dream last night
Crawling mindless upon the shore
City made of stone
A tenebrous throne of ancient gods

Once in time the silence fell
On the city's walls
And all the true believers turned to stone
The blackness came to guard the fire
That gleamed deep in their eyes
The eyes that soon shall fall upon me
Late at night

Is there no-one to follow me, a secret hero so brave
So, I leave you message my son, dig me no grave
Murder of sanity and death was my prize
There's no-one left outside to hear my cries

Let me out of here...

They were, they are, they shall remain long after they have devoured us
They were, they are, they shall remain long after they have devoured us

No-one to go through these dark gates
No-one to come back alive
No-one to see these evil things
Without losing his soul and his mind
And after all what was there to find but terrible, agonizing death
Dreams of power and fortune
Respect, knowledge and fame
Nothing could I find

Is there no-one to follow me, a secret hero so brave
So, I leave you message my son, dig me no grave
Murder of sanity and death was my prize
There's no-one left outside to hear my cries
