Fallen (The City of Night)

Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
Streets half-familiar that I once called home...
The breath of phantoms now fogs the light;
The skin I shuffled strangely outgrown
Fallen, the city of night

[Verse 2]
Lost geographics of mortar and lime
Formed the arena for fight or flight;
All's buried under the leafstorm of time
Fallen in the city of night
Fallen the city of night

[Bridge]
All of the fences overblown
All of the gardens overgrown
All of the towers overthrown;
All that I knew shall be over
Become unkown
In the city of night

[Chorus]
I know that I've been here before
I know that I've been here before
But that was in another lifetime

[Verse 3]
What once seemed blessed now feels accursed
With words the spendthrift burned by candlelight
But now this miser's mouth is pursed:
Fallen, the city of night
Fallen, the city of night
Fallen, the city of night
Fallen, the city of night

[Chorus]
I know that I've been here before
But that was in another lifetime
That was in another liftime
But that was in another lifetime

[Outro]
Fallen, the city
Fallen, the city
Fallen, the city
