Lanterns (from Endgame, 2011) This night will fall like any other Daylight subsides and shadows crawl Out from under black corners Hiding something Stars, all so restless Cracked windows open wide Dead-bolt turns doors just creak open With stars and moonlight there to guide
Come raise your lantern to the sky Can we illuminate this night? We'll dance like heathens round a flame While the world sleeps we are awake
The black brook calls It sings a chorus While the cavalry swells The flames grow tall Right before us As drums keep pounding And the masses now are fusing Bodies pressed and tangled As we revel in confusion Our inhibitions thrown into the fire
Come raise your lantern to the sky Can we illuminate this night?
We'll dance like heathens round a flame While the world sleeps we are awake
Here in the dark we are safe from the judgement Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in The hell is sent. see, child, you are hellbent But hell is not where we're going Hell's where we've been
Come raise your lantern to the sky And let's illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens round the flame And while the world sleeps we are awake
Raise your lantern to the sky And let's illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens around the flames And while the world sleeps we are awake We are awake (raise your lantern to the sky) We are awake We are awake (now raise your lantern to the sky) We are awake Yeah we are awake
