This assignments is so out of my usual element... but oh well. Fun to get out of the comfort zone, if there is one!
lyrics
At night the darkness comes over you
Not like a blanket, but like a deep dark shadow
The stars burn bright above your head
And the walls start closing in...
What was That sound?
An old man used to walk around back here
Dirty shoes and a slight limp, greasy hair
People say he lived alone, but nobody knew where
I grew up here but spent my last
20 years in New York city
Now that I’m back home in the dark
Nights all alone and stark
What was That sound?
What was that sound
The sound of killing
What was That sound?
What was that sound
Bodies hit the ground
Across the street I see it now
The front doors open and banging in the wind
With the rain I barely see anything
Can’t deny it now
A scream, that was definitely a scream
Bloodcurdling and shrill
What am I gonna do now?
That the lights have gone out
What was That sound?
What was that sound
The sound of killing
What was That sound?
What was that sound
Bodies hit the ground
Police and sirens, yellow tape and sadness
Never heard what happened - I I I
Moved back to the city Happier here
That night still haunts me every night
