Assemblage 23 The Poison Moon Lyrics

The flashbulb blind
The siren blare
A palpable tension
Like a vulture circling in air

The shivering hours
Unanswered fate
Inquiring the liar
The body lay just out of frame

I still recall the poison moon
That burned up in the sky that night
Peering down as if to say
This all means nothing
As obvious as midday sun
Regret hung heavy in the air
Reaching out as if to say
This must mean something

Uneasy words
Weighed down by fear
Met with emotional riot
And motives unclear

The trusting heart
No longer beats
Arrested by anger
Drowned out by the hum of the street

I still recall the poison moon That burned up in the sky that night
Peering down as if to say
This all means nothing
As obvious as midday sun
Regret hung heavy in the air
Reaching out as if to say
This must mean something

Daylight revealed
The frosted dawn
The city awakened its dim eyes
And grimly went on

And all around
Nobody knew
A story with no one to hear it
Has little value

I still recall the poison moon
That burned up in the sky that night
Peering down as if to say
This all means nothing
As obvious as midday sun
Regret hung heavy in the air
Reaching out as if to say
This must mean something
