Lanterns

This night will fall like any otherDaylight subsides and shadows crawlOut from under black cornersHiding somethingStars, all so restlessCracked windows open wideDead-bolt turns doors just creak openWith stars and moonlight there to guideCome raise your lantern to the skyCan we illuminate this night?We'll dance like heathens round a flameWhile the world sleeps we are awakeThe black brook callsIt sings a chorusWhile the cavalry 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 fireCome raise your lantern to the skyCan we illuminate this night?We'll dance like heathens round a flameWhile the world sleeps we are awakeHere 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's where we've beenCome raise your lantern to the skyAnd let's illuminate this nightWe'll dance like heathens round the flameAnd while the world sleeps we are awakeRaise your lantern to the skyAnd let's illuminate this nightWe'll dance like heathens around the flamesAnd while the world sleeps we are awakeWe are awake(raise your lantern to the sky)We are awakeWe are awake(now raise your lantern to the sky)We are awakeYeah we are awake
