Standing motionless Stoic in the rain The people passing by Not noticing their pain The fountains turn off The gates are closing Their eyes so alive Forever open Anticipate the night The Curtain on the day Waiting on the dark Waiting on the dark When statues move They sway in the garden Dancing under the moon When no one is watching Slipping the bonds Of the hereafter To walk free In silent laughter When the morning comes They resume their place With love in their hearts Holding the space The clouds a heavy gray Sky of molten lead People hurry past Umbrellas in the wind Longing for a life These feelings of decay Before sunrise Lips sealed to their fate Anticipate the night The Curtain on the day Waiting on the dark Waiting on the dark
