Dusk City Lyrics

dusk city
where the light is wearing thin
dull fire in an auburn sky
one fire
casts a shadow where I stand
one hour
till my world falls down

nothing stands in my way
nothing stands in my way to ruin
but the city remains
and the ghosts of the lost and lonely

silent strangers, wraiths of the neon glow
souls so dim and pale
I am drawn to where I can fade away
here at twilight's end
dusk city
where the river has no name
where hours pass like centuries

rust lingers
as it swallows up the day
one fire it will burn you down

I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way to ruin
let me lead you astray
follow me to the lost and lonely
silent strangers, wraiths of the neon glow
souls so dim and pale
I am drawn to where I can fade away
here at twilight's end

snow of ashes, leaves of a shredded sun
memories washed away
no regrets now, never a safe return
to what might have been
