[Intro] Dm C F C Dm C Gm F Dm Dm C F C Dm C Gm F Dm [Verse 1]
D
Twilight falls, ghostly the hands

                   Bb
That reach out for you

D
Through the mist of these alien lands

A         Bb          F       C
Swallowed away on the road to forever

D
Like a storm the wraith of advance

D
Forced its will upon you
Sacred yesterdays, lucid and vast
A                Bb      F      C
Blink of an eye it's all coming together

Bb
Like a relic of a long bygone time

G                                          C
Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind

Hold on, yeah  (Fire in the night)
[Chorus]

Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark

Fire in the night

Bm          G               Bm

Where those moonflowers used to grow

[Verse 2]
D
As I walk through the mist

                         Bb
Down the ruins of things that used to be

D
Silent remnants of magical times

A            Bb
A cabinet of curiosities

D
Old companions and past Christmas ghosts

A            Bb
Juvenile levity

D
Sacred gatherings, pictures of days

A         Bb          F       C
Swallowed away on the road to forever

Bb
A covert society buried in time

G
Once bent on survival
Now kicked out of line
A
Oh, I hold on  (A fire in the night)

Night by night, stare into the black

A
And quite suddenly

           G
Just as if somebody slammed the door

Bb           F
Halcyon days buried in halcyon lore

D
As silence prevails

C
Fragments come passing me by

               Bb
Slipping right through

          A
A crevice in time, oh  (Fire in the night)
