Curtains of the Night

Intro

Verse 1

Deep in the heart of the neon city

There stands a gate made of iron and bone

It's been the grave of a thousand dreams

And I'm standing here, all alone

Lord, I'm standing here, all alone.

Verse 2

My mother wove the curtains of the night

Tried to keep the darkness from my door

But my father was a chaser of the silver wind

Always looking for a little bit more

Yeah, he was always looking for more.

Verse 3

Now a drifter only needs the hollow road

And a fever burning in his soul

He only finds his peace of mind

When he loses all control

Yeah, when the shadows take their toll.

Chorus

Mothers, tell your children of the light

Don't let them walk the path I've found

Between the hunger and the velvet fire

Way down, deep in the ground

Oh, way down, deep in the ground!

solo

Verse 4

One hand is on the iron rail

The other is reaching for the rain

I'm heading back to that dark room

To wear that heavy crown of pain

To wear that crown of pain again.

Verse 5

Deep in the heart of the neon city

There stands a gate made of iron and bone

It's been the ruin of a thousand souls

And God, I know I'm one.

I'm the only one...

(The sun... is going down...)
