A Modern Noir Lyrics by Scarlet Meridian

A Modern Noir

2024

Footsteps drag along these concrete streets
Angels perch where towers and skyline meets
I’ve tempted time, I’ve wept in the rain
But I’m not sure if I can run again
The angels’ trumpets sound
They’ve come to cut me down
To display my death as their art;
My misery into a modern noir
Lose your balance away with the tide
It rips away from your love, your pride
Nowhere to grasp, to cling, to hide
And yet you pathetically tread for your lifе
Choking on rain you desperately prayеd for
Atone for sins you’ve already paid for
Like sheep to the slaughter
Tremble away
And the angels, they sing:
Glory, glory hallelujah!
Glory, glory hallelujah!
The angels’ hands, they hold me down
It all goes gray as they watch me drown
Nameless, faceless
The warmth slips away
They’ve come to cut me down
And when the curtains meet the stage
When your arms no longer embrace
Where my heart yearns for a place
To call my home again
And when the fire dies inside
And where there’s nowhere left to hide
Left to sink I watch the water rise
Over my head again
With my hands too cold to tread
The rain’s slipping past my skin again
Neon lights, they paint the cement
Showing their colors again
Grab my poems from out the rain
The pages soaked, no words remain
Running ink veils my metaphors
Yet the woes are stained forevermore
Finally revealed I see it once more
Tears muddle with rain on the floor…
I know you’ve seen this film before
