The Moonflower Society Testo

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

Like a relic of a long bygone time Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind
Hold on - yeah

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

As I walk through the mist
Down 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
A covert society buried in time
Once bent on survival
Now kicked out of line
Oh I hold on...

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

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

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
