Lanterns
This night will fall like any otherDaylight subsides and shadows crawlOut from under black cornersHiding something stirsAll so restlessCracked windows open wideDead-bolt turns. Doors creak openWhispers and moonlight there to guide
Come raise your lantern to the skyCan we illuminate this night?We'll dance like heathens round a flameWhile the world sleeps we are awake
The black brook callsIt sings a chorusWhile the gathering swellsThe flames grow tallRight before usAs drums keep poundingAnd the masses now are fusingBodies pressed and tangledAs we revel in confusionOur inhibitions thrown into the fire
Come raise your lantern to the skyCan we illuminate this night?We'll dance like heathens round a flameWhile the world sleeps we are awake
Here in the dark we are safe from the judgementNow arm in arm locked tight so no one gets inThe hell is sent. See, child, you are hellbentBut hell is not where we're goingHell is where we've been
Come raise your lantern to the skyAnd let's illuminate this nightWe'll dance like heathens around the flameAnd while the world sleeps we are awake
Raise your lantern to the skyAnd let's illuminate this nightWe'll dance like heathens around the flamesWhile the world sleeps we are awake(Raise your lantern to the sky)Yeah, we are awake(Hey, hey, hey)We are awake(Now raise your lantern to the sky)We are awakeYeah, we are awakeWe are awake
