Twilight falls, ghostly the hands That reach out for you Through the mist of these alien lands Swallowed away on the road to forever Like a storm the wraith of advance Forced its will upon you Sacred yesterdays, lucid and vast For a blink of an eye it’s all coming together Like a relic of a long bygone time Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind Hold on - yeah Fire in the night I see ghosts, spectres light around me Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Fire in the night One by one - pictures gather round me Where those moonflowers used to grow Lost no more - spectres gather round here Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Night by night - stare into the black Where moonflowers used to grow As I walk through the mist Down the ruins of things that used to be Silent remnants of magical times A cabinet of curiosities Old companions and past Christmas ghosts Juvenile levity Sacred gatherings, pictures of days Swallowed away on the road to forever A covert society buried in time Once bent on survival Now kicked out of line Oh I hold on... A fire in the night I see ghosts - spectres light around me Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Fire in the night One by one - pictures gather round me Where those moonflowers used to grow Lost no more - spectres gather round here Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Night by night - stare into the black Where moonflowers used to grow And quite suddenly Just as if somebody slammed the door Halcyon days buried in halcyon lore As silence prevails Fragments come passing me by Slipping right through A crevice in time, oh Fire in the night I see ghosts - spectres light around me Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Fire in the night One by one - pictures gather round me Where those moonflowers used to grow Lost no more - spectres gather round here Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark Night by night - stare into the black Where moonflowers used to grow

Oh yeah... Yeah The crack of thunder boding evil in the night Raging forks impale the dark skies That carry and rock what they're afraid to speak of Out to choke the light A godless name the storm bell cries The pestering, the blight Someone's got to bear the blame, you name the name The wicked rule the night Knocking up all disarray And there is hell to pay Fire! And yet we'll come for you again Try to close your eyes We'll show up anyway Fire! You know we'll return once again You can turn the page The image will remain We're in your dreams They ride the storm that they've brewed up in secrecy Speak in tongues, they curse and pray Spat maledictions, left them high in ecstasy You don't get a word they say The poison's got to flow You let it off, rechannelize, depressurize The wicked seed is sown To spawn disarray And there is hell to pay Fire! And yet we'll come for you again Try to close your eyes We'll show up anyway Fire! You know we'll return once again You can turn the page The image will remain We're in your dreams And in the boscage staring eyes Something hiding from the light The wicked rule the night Fire! By night we'll come for you again Try to close your eyes We'll haunt you anyway Fire! Be sure we'll return once again You can burn the page The image will remain We're in your dreams Oh yeah - Fire!
