Abney Park - Dark Vocation lyrics

I walk these streets all alone at midnight
When no one's watching
I keep a blade, long and thin and white
Stuck in my boot i see a woman step out of a
Doorway and pull up her stocking
I see men start to follow
The faces covered in soot

I keep the balance in the night
I hunger for the fight
I shiver with anticipation
The Moon, she watches every stride
She's keeping me alive
My singularly Dark Vocation

I hear the men call out to their victim
Their voices mocking
The woman's eyes flash from side to side
She wants a different route
But before she can change her course
The alley's ended
They yell out 'Whore, better open this door
Your debt will distribute'
I keep the balance in the night
I hunger for the fight
I shiver with anticipation
The Moon, she watches every stride
She's keeping me alive
My singularly Dark Vocation

Silently slid the knife from my boot
Under the first back rib cage
Turned in a flash and made a
Big slash in another's throat
Cut off the ear of a man who stepped near
And he yelled in outrage not 'til he fell
Could fully tell I'd stabbed
Him through his coat

I keep the balance in the night
I hunger for the fight
I shiver with anticipation
The Moon, she watches every stride
She's keeping me alive
My singularly Dark VocationI walk these
Streets all alone at midnight
When no one's watching
I keep a blade, long and thin and white
Stuck in my boot i see a woman step out of a
Doorway and pull up her stocking
I see men start to follow
The faces covered in soot

I keep the balance in the night
I hunger for the fight
I shiver with anticipation
The Moon, she watches every stride
She's keeping me alive
My singularly Dark Vocation

I hear the men call out to their victim
Their voices mocking
The woman's eyes flash from side to side
She wants a different route
But before she can change her course
The alley's ended
They yell out 'Whore, better open this door
Your debt will distribute'
I keep the balance in the night
I hunger for the fight
I shiver with anticipation
The Moon, she watches every stride
She's keeping me alive
My singularly Dark Vocation

Silently slid the knife from my boot
Under the first back rib cage
Turned in a flash and made a
Big slash in another's throat
Cut off the ear of a man who stepped near
And he yelled in outrage not 'til he fell
Could fully tell I'd stabbed
Him through his coat

I keep the balance in the night
I hunger for the fight
I shiver with anticipation
The Moon, she watches every stride
She's keeping me alive
My singularly Dark Vocation
