I saw the rock face crumble
I heard the silent night
I saw the darkness tumble
Out of a dazzling light, out of a dazzling light
I clapped the night's performing
I cheered the painted face
I screamed a global warning
To all the Human Race, to all the Human Race
But I didn't see the ships go under
And I didn't hear the tolling bell
At the sound of distant thunder
I was wrapped up in my cell
So we screwed the Bank of England
Like it did to us before
And we tore the souls within them
Toying with the lion's claw
On Came The Midnight while she was staring
Into my eyes
Vision in black she entered my dreams
And stole my disguise
She was the midnight, beckoning me
With ebony eyes
Telling me stories, melting the truth
And selling me lies
I saw the fires burning, I saw the tapers lit
I felt the seasons turning out of an empty pit
Out of an empty pit
I dreamt I held the answer
Here in the palms of my hands
I watched the timeless dancer
Sprawl in the shifting sands
Sprawl in the shifting sands
But I couldn't taste the day's successes
As I missed the final act
Hidden from the night's excesses
I was fiction, you were fact
So we pooled our few resources
And we shared them one by one
As we rode abandoned horses
Beneath the dying sun
On Came The Midnight while she was staring
Into my eyes
Vision in black she entered my dreams
And stole my disguise
She was the midnight, beckoning me
With ebony eyes
Telling me stories, melting the truth
And selling me lies
