Lanterns

[Verse 1] This night will fall like any other Daylight subsides and shadows crawl out from under Black corners hiding, something stirs, all so restless Cracked windows open wide Dead-bolt turns, doors creak open Whispers and moonlight there to guide [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] The black bird calls, it sings a chorus While the gathering 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Here in the dark we are safe from the judgement Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in The Heaven-sent say, "Child, you are hellbent." But Hell is not where we're going, Hell's where we've been [Chorus] Come raise your lantern to the sky And let's illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens 'round a 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 While the world sleeps, we are awake [Outro] (Raise your lantern to the sky) Yeah, we are awake (Hey, hey) We are awake (Now raise your lantern to the sky) Yeah, we are awake We are awake (Hey, hey) (We! Are! A)
