Necropolis

1.
On Hypnos’ outstretched wings I’m carried
Falling into a troubled dream
And I saw a city of the dead
Sealed in walls of concrete and steel

Where did all these faces gather
In the crowd that drifts in restless haze?
Not eyes staring back from sockets
Only emptiness in their gaze

Chorus:
Concrete prison, frozen light
Shadows of the lost in night
Only I among them breathe
Midnight wanderer through the streets

2.
Walls are closing, air grows colder
Clocks are frozen, time stands still
Someone whispers out my name
In the dark beyond my will

Mannequins in ashen masks
Drift along the endless roads
Life without a single color
Where each second slowly erodes

Chorus:
Concrete prison, frozen light
Shadows of the lost in night
Only I among them breathe
Midnight wanderer through the streets

3.
Silent whisper at my back
Shadows moving on the wall
What has happened here to me?
Am I fading in the fall?

On the wings of Hypnos rising
Over deserts made of stone
With the dawn I start to realize
This dead city is my own

Chorus:
Concrete prison, frozen light
Shadows of the lost in night
Only I among them breathe
Midnight wanderer through the streets
