In the Shadow of the Seven Stars
LOCATION: Swallow Gardens, Royal Mint Street, Whitechapel
Lamp smokes
Heart skips
Shoe falls
Locket slips
Cold eyes
Hard stare
Black night
Still air
Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars
Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars
A body turns
A body stalls
A body lifts
A body falls
Seconds come
Seconds go
Sound fades
Movement slows
Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars
Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars
Mortal fear
Shaking leaf
Cautious steps
Turn to flee
A quiet voice
A halting plea
Time to run
None must see
Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars
Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars
Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars
Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars
