Lyrics:
Midnight falls
And the windows glow
Every saint
Has somewhere dark to go
Glass city
Black sky
Red lips
White lie
One rose
One crime
Everybody pays
At midnight
Rain runs silver down the boulevard
Neon halos flicker over broken hearts
Every tower wears a holy face
But the angels disappeared without a trace
There’s a siren singing underground
There’s a body where the moonlight drowned
Someone left a rose beside the door
And a shadow that I’ve seen before
I hear the city breathing
Through the static in the wires
Every prayer becomes a secret
Every secret starts a fire
If the truth is buried under
All this beauty and decay
Then I’ll follow every fracture
Till the night gives way
Welcome to the Glass City!
Where every halo hides a crime!
Where the rain comes down like diamonds
On the guilty and divine!
Welcome to the Glass City!
Where the angels never sleep!
Every window has a witness
Every mirror has teeth!
Run through the neon!
Fall through the light!
Everybody looks innocent
At midnight!
Welcome to the Glass City!
And the case begins tonight!
Midnight!
Midnight!
Glass City!
Midnight!
Midnight!
The city knows your name!
Check the alley
Check the crown
Check the chapel burning down
Check the saint
Check the blade
Check the debt the kingdom paid
Black coat, black gloves
Bad luck, fake love
Every clue blooms bright
Where the dead girls gave up
No confession
No protection
Just a rose and a reflection
If the city wants a secret
I can turn it into evidence
I hear the ghosts beneath me
Singing softly through the rain
Every name they tried to bury
Still is glowing in the stain
If the truth is underneath us
I will drag it to the sky
Let the towers watch me closely
Let the gods deny
Welcome to the Glass City!
Where every halo hides a crime!
Where the rain comes down like diamonds
On the guilty and divine!
Welcome to the Glass City!
Where the angels never sleep!
Every window has a witness
Every mirror has teeth!
Run through the neon!
Fall through the light!
Everybody looks innocent
At midnight!
Welcome to the Glass City!
And the case begins tonight!
Somewhere under violet rain
Someone whispered out my name
Somewhere past the chapel doors
There are footprints on the floor
Every tower
Every throne
Every saint
I’ve ever known
Cast a shadow
Long and thin
Like the shape
Of original sin
Who lit the skyline?
Who broke the moon?
Who left the roses
In the victim’s room?
Who killed the angels?
Who sold the crown?
Who keeps smiling
When the lights go down?
NO HALOS!
NO HEROES!
NO SAINTS IN THIS CITY!
Glass!
City!
Glass!
City!
Case file opened.
MIDNIGHT NEVER LIES!
Welcome to the Glass City!
Where every halo hides a crime!
Where the rain comes down like diamonds
On the guilty and divine!
Welcome to the Glass City!
Where the angels never sleep!
Every window has a witness
Every mirror has teeth!
Run through the neon!
Fall through the light!
Everybody looks innocent
At midnight!
Welcome to the Glass City!
And the truth comes out tonight!
Midnight!
Midnight!
Glass City!
Midnight!
Midnight!
The city knows your name!
Glass city
Black sky
One rose
One crime
The night opens its eyes.
