In a forgotten time It happened like this In a forgotten time Those forgotten kids In a forgotten town Crept under the ground I wanted their bones You wanted a kiss ♪ In a forgotten time Before they were dismissed From that forgotten town Those forsaken kids In a forbidden tongue Spoke of shadows to come I searched for the light You searched for my lips (oh) They stopped the parade Right in our stride (oh) The music died (oh) They unplugged the games Now we must play (oh) In dark arcades ♪ In a forbidden song He sang out our names In a forbidden tome You wrote of the same Inappropriate hopes And hid it beneath My pillow as I Pretended to sleep (oh) They stopped the parade Right in our stride (oh) The music died (oh) They unplugged the games Now we must play (oh) In dark arcades ♪ Here we stay where we were meant to play And every night, every night As you write I'm searching for the light Oh any light, any light I pray to the death You'll light up our life (oh) They stopped the parade Right in our stride (oh) The music died (oh) They unplugged the games Now we must play (oh) In dark arcades They stopped the parade Right in our stride The music died They unplugged the games Now we must play In dark arcades
