He took the chalice, from its sacred vein
Secrets cloaked in whispers, through the windowpane
[Verse 2]
At the station's platform, the night feels alive
With jazz notes flowing, in the late hour's jive
Hearts beat faster, as they all arrive
Ambitions veiled in mystery, yet to derive
On the Orient Express, stars burning bright
An adventurer lost his midnight fight
Gone, the artifact he took in spite
Through the jazz and the blues of the night
[Bridge]
Mystery in your eyes, shadows of disguise
The smooth jazz cries, while love implies
Whispers in the corridor, secrets held tight
The conductor's silent nod, moon shedding light
A love so clandestine, in the journey's plight
Through the soft hum of wheels, and the distant city lights
[Chorus]
Midnight on the Orient, stories unfold
Mysteries unravel, lovers so bold
In the dining car's glow, shadows start to creep
Glances shared in secrets, hearts skipping a beat
A suitcase covered, truths hidden deep
In the rhythm of the rail, the promise to keep
[Verse 3]
Cards play in silence, a game of fate
Echoes of a heist, whispering too late
Through whispers and lies, under the dim lights
A gambler has his tell, under the stars so bright
The artifact's gone, in the shroud of the night
Mysteries weave, with each passing flight
[Chorus]
Midnight on the Orient, stories unfold
Mysteries unravel, lovers so bold
Midnight revelations, hidden doors
A shuffle in the shadows, secrets pour
The tables turn, in fortune’s wind blurrin'
Echoes of gambits, where truth keeps stirrin'
[Bridge]
Masks half-worn, beneath veiled facades
The band plays on, no applause
