lyrics

Words were tight on the roads tonight; blank faces stride paces back home
No sound as the cities locked down ‘cept sighs for dreams left untold

The distant ring of a siren scream echoed in the suspicious stars
Watchmen bound by the cold winds of town fade out with wound wearied hearts

Silent night as the city dies
In the moons fragile light, they cross the bridge with heads held high

Bones were bruised and splint set to lose as soft drops of rain started to trace
Heavens grace washing over the pain and emptiness drowning this place

Silent night as the city dies
In the moons fragile light, they cross the bridge with heads held high

Life moves on for the fortunate ones, a detachment sets up in their souls
Side by side pledging time in the night, with their families waiting back home
