VACANT STREET

Gene Eric Mann

Starry Nightmoth performs on KBs in this one. I am so disappointed with how this recording turned out, but others like it, so…

VACANT STREET

i’ve seen your children burn with hate
filled with fear and rage
they won’t forgive but they forget
all the world’s a stage
and as you watch they dance before
flashing neon signs
that lights their way on Vacant Street
that’s where the Tempter shines

awake your children from their dream
dreams of pain and shame
so sure that for the ills of life
you’re the one to blame
and as they stumble, weak of will
help them to their feet
don’t let your wayward children fall
asleep on Vacant Street

they’re gnashing teeth on Vacant Street
for a child is still
she chose the path that she would walk
as she had free will
oh come Our Gracious El Shadai
mourn the Knock of Death
the child that prayed to neon gods
has given up your breath
