Simpler Times - Heroes of the Night Lyrics

In every place
In this old strife
The pungent scent
Of drenched tar
A crooked whore
A rusty knife
A gun shot

Old fashioned style
Shred t-shirt
Where neon signs
Lead you home
Hear distant crows
Maybe a corpse
Again?

Shadows under streetlights
Heroes of the city of lies
Shadows under streetlights
Heroes of the city of lies

Take a good look around
Lure the moth and the flame

Open eyes in the dark
Vigilantes of the Night

One alley solitude a blight
The urban scum a bogus might
A pretty kiss
An easy shag
Womanly, amore

In filthy streets
A pelt demise
A female voice
Drugs, alarms
The taste of blood
In my mouth
Again?

Shadows under streetlights
Devils on the run
Heroes of the city of lies
Am I insane?
Shadows under streetlights
Innocent
Heroes of the city of lies
Serve, protect

Take a good look around
Lure the moth and the flame

Open eyes in the dark
Vigilantes of the Night

Take a good look around
Open eyes in the dark
Fool the moth and the flame
Vigilantes of the Night
