BEHIND THE MUSIC OF BENTON CRANE
BEHIND THE MUSIC OF BENTON CRANE
Midnight
Lyrics by Benton Crane, 2018
Music by Benton Crane/Ice Station Zebra
I've got a mystery
I know, I'm not alone
Waiting for the very souls
Who have already gone
I don't know a single face
I don't know where I am
I don't even know my name
Or where my freedom stands
Don't run, the midnight calls your name
Fade to black, radio silence
You never listen to the sounds of the silence
Stealing shadows for my friends
A fire breathing dragon defends
The gates of hell for you infidels
Your mama raised you better than this
In the end your covered in blood
Only saved by those who run
Don't run, the midnight calls your name
Wipe the faces of many men
Foot soldiers waiting in the parking lot
Feeling sorry for themselves
A pocket full is all you are
I never knew the idiot
Who ran when he was called
Now I'm waiting for my turn
To give it all I ever had
When I wake up in the morning
I'll tell you what I had to find
A cup of coffee and a cigarette
Will ease my weary mind
Don't run, the midnight calls your name
