(Aah, aah, aah-aah) (Aah, aah, aah-aah) The radio's playing songs That remind me of love And lust and fantasy I'm waiting for the hands of time to slow I'm watching from the wings But no one knows Contained in those familiar songs Sharp reminders of pain And loss and timeless need Reflecting in shapes of afterglow Rejected, in decay, the frozen rose Hold tight, don't fight Drifting in a sleepless bromide So high, won't die Desolate and beached at low tide A seance for a billion souls Just reminds me I'm lost Consigned to purgatory We are the night, as cold as ice The spirits caught up in the astral sphere We are the time honoured ghosts Of a by gone promise Damned and Necronomicon bound Our earthly ties were our demise A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere We faced the eye of the storm And the dawn stopped coming Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou' Can't save us now (Aah, aah, aah-aah) (Aah, aah, aah-aah) They say not every demon Lies in the deepest Of all our dreams and ecstasies The Exorcist at least defines the blow We pacify the beast but down we go The day we keep in all inside is the day That we doubt our own complexities We're fading like a Michelangelo And fated to the dark adagio Hold tight, don't fight Drifting in a sleepless bromide So high, won't die Desolate and beached at low tide Departed and deceased Designed to divide Into shades of light a prism bleeds We are the night, as cold as ice The spirits caught up in the astral sphere We are the time honoured ghosts Of a by gone promise Damned and Necronomicon bound Our earthly ties were our demise A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere We faced the eye of the storm And the dawn stopped coming Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou' Can't save us now (Aah, don't fight) (Aah, bromide) (Aah, won't die) (Aah, aah) We are the night, as cold as ice The spirits caught up in the astral sphere We are the time honoured ghosts Of a by gone promise Damned and Necronomicon bound Our earthly ties were our demise A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere We faced the eye of the storm And the dawn stopped coming Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou' We are the night, as cold as ice The spirits caught up in the astral sphere We are the time honoured ghosts Of a by gone promise Damned and Necronomicon bound Our earthly ties were our demise A smoke dispersing through the atmosphere We faced the eye of the storm And the dawn stopped coming Heaven and the 'holier-than-thou' Can't save us now (Aah, aah, aah-aah) (Aah, aah, aah-aah) (Aah, aah, aah-aah) (Aah, aah, aah-aah) The radio's playing songs That remind me of love And lust and fantasy
