Gypsy Sage - I Rule the Night

(Verse 1) The clocks have quit their turning And the neon stops its buzz A sudden, heavy quiet Takes the place of what there was I step across the asphalt Where the modern gears go slack And watch the colors swallow Every light that won’t come back (Chorus) I hold the reins of silence When the heavy curtains fall I am the quiet master Moving softly through it all The crown is made of nothing But the spaces left behind I rule the hours of velvet That the sun could never find (Verse 2) The engines lose their rhythm And the wires forget to breathe A temporary kingdom That the daylight had to leave No maps can track my footsteps Where the empty alleys bend I walk the velvet hallways Where the daily borders end (Chorus) I hold the reins of silence When the heavy curtains fall I am the quiet master Moving softly through it all The crown is made of nothing But the spaces left behind I rule the hours of velvet That the sun could never find (Bridge) It isn’t cold or bitter It is just a wider space A clean and open canvas Free of any clockwork face The world has dropped its anchor And the world has closed its eyes While I inherit everything Beneath the dark disguise (Chorus) I hold the reins of silence When the heavy curtains fall I am the quiet master Moving softly through it all The crown is made of nothing But the spaces left behind I rule the hours of velvet That the sun could never find (Outro) The heavy velvet hours... Where I am king. Where everything is still. I rule it all.
