Blue Oyster Cult - Cold Grey Light Of Dawn Lyrics






That endless light
Casts only one shadow
The cold grey light
By the penthouse on the ghetto
Kill the other witness
Knife plunged to the hilt
The unforgiven dawn
Will only spotlight your guilt

In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore

You call up Emmy
You've rehearsed the lines
But she knows about Judy
She knows you're lying
Put your foot in it, yeah
It's getting caught
Leave it in long enough, yeah
It starts to rot

In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore

No matter what you did
No matter who you are
In the fading light
From a middle aged star
You've seen every blemish
Every sign of age
And it's useless to whine
And it's useless to rage

In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore

Cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
Hide the truth
Anymore
Hide the truth anymore

    bit of blue oyster cult for tonight, enjoy people

  16. G.... O....

    So you people think there under rated? Think they're under appreciated? These guys were meant to be CULT classics sense day one. Really would it be the same if they were Metallica huge? Just be glad you can appreciate them and accept the fact there that way.

    G.... O....

    I like BOC Better!

    G.... O....

    Shut up

  17. D.... D....

    This song reminds me of the Cult.

    D.... D....

    +Damn Deal Done This is the Cult.

    D.... D....

    @Duck Bharma no the cult is a 80's band that has a sound like living colour

    D.... D....

    I know right

    D.... D....

    1983 MTV, still have it on VHS.

    https://youtu.be/8g6h1vI4Xv0

    D.... D....

    The only real Cult is the kind with Blue Oysters.

  18. L.... C....

    FUCKIN A!!! THIS IS JUST SOMETHING ELSE!!!

  19. j.... ....

    @bluefukingreene damn right

  20. h.... ....

    @MAGNUM2F cd sales are down vinyl sales have made a huge resurgence in the last 3 years they have started making newq albums on vinyl records again.

  21. M.... ....

    @mlkuhnpdx CORRECT! THESE LADS ARE SUPERB ( AND I STILL HAVE ALL MY VINYL! )

  22. s.... ....

    @bluefukingreene You can't hide the truth anymore!!!

  23. s.... ....

    @bluefukingreene You can't hide the truth anymore!!!

  24. M.... K....

    @skosters BOC is at the top of OUR Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and that's what really matters. I play a whole bunch of videos each day on You Tube and almost every one of them is a BOC song cuz I don't have my vinyl anymore - Rock on, BOC!

  25. b.... ....

    these guys are not only underated they are one of the best bands of all time.

    b.... ....

    Epic Band! BOC Forever! \m/\m/

  26. j.... ....

    pure awesome. B.O.C. Most underrated band ever! Their creativity never seems to end. Most even great bands lose the inspiration and creativity after so many years. B.O.C. has never lost it!!!

    j.... ....

    The albums and creatively were one thing (between 1970 - 2001 for studio albums) the concerts are another. There is a Soft White Underbelly gig from 1967 on here ... 50 years later I just saw them play live & Buck & Eric still had the passion & talent that night, other band members were fabulous as well.. went down a storm after half a century on tour .. remarkable band.

  27. B.... I....

    Do people really believe "Smoke on the Water" is a better song than this is? Somebody please tell me they don't.

  28. A.... M....

    @cuttlefisch it was awe inspiring! The best is only getting better...vigil, golden age of leather, hot rails, black blade smoked....they are still the best going on 40 years!

  29. S.... L....

    @RoeserFan2 I completely agree - I came late to the the BOC fold (1980 or so) but have since seen them at least 30 times and have generally been blown away every time. They will NEVER be in the Rock'N'Roll Hall Of Fame, and that is truly wrong.

  30. B.... I....

    @SkaterDude652 You lucky devil!! Let us know what the gig was like.

  31. A.... M....

    @RoeserFan2 Perhaps that is why we fans are the Cult....but yes I have been pondering your sentiments for over 35 years......on my way to see the mighty BOC tonight in San Francisco!

  32. B.... I....

    @RoeserFan Just a classic, classic tune!!

  33. B.... I....

    @RoeserFan2 Thanks for that! I try my best!!

  34. B.... I....

    @SkaterDude652 Sadly, this album is underrated by many BOC fans, never mind anyone else.

  35. A.... M....

    I dont get it..this album has at least 5 top 40 hits and did I hear one song on the radio...No...it is a shame..everyone who hears this album just cant believe how awesome BOC is! They are truely rocks greatest rock band! Ant they are still touring, which is just freakin amazing!!

  36. B.... I....

    Just anothe great BOC track. What more can you say??? If recorded by anyone else, this would be played every day on "Classic Rock" radio stations.
