Midnight on Crow Alley

I walk alone where the crows take wing

On a narrow street that remainders everything

Windows stare back like a dead end sea

And the dark leans close, trying to swallow me

The air tastes cold like a secret kept

Every step I take is a promise half kept

'Til I hear my heart beat under the rain

And I whisper my name through the fear and pain

Under the blood orange sky, I will break tonight

With the crows circling low, I still face the light

As the shadows call my name, I'll answer back

Through the haunted back, I'll stay on track

Under the blood orange sky, I won't run away

I was born from the night, but I'll meet the day

The streetlights flicker like fading vows

I can feel the storm in the smoke somehow

Every cracked brick wall holds a ghost of me

But I'm not the man that I used to be

Now the silence comes like a loaded blade

And the fear in my chest starts to fray and fade

I've been lost before I know the way

Through the velvet dark to the edge of day

Under the blood orange sky

I won't break tonight

With the crows circling low

I still face the light

If the shadows call my name, I'll answer back

Through the haunted black, I'll stay on track

Under the blood-drawn sky, I won't run away

I was born from the night, but I'll meet the day

Let the cold wind cut, let the darkness rise

I can see my future in my own two eyes

No more begging the night to let me stay

I am fear and fire, and I make my way

Under the blood orange sky, I won't break tonight

With the crows circling low, I still face the light

Every step through the dark is a vow I keep

In the hush of the void, I'm waking from sleep

Under the blood-dwarven sky, I won't run away

Always born from the night, but I'll meet Bidet
