The night is rising my eyes
Even in the dark I know i'm alive
I am burning for you,
yeah you know its true.
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
The night, awake us tonight
This is where we all meet
the ones left behind
I am burning for you,
yeah you know it's true.
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
[Solo]
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
The night, awake us tonight
This is where we all meet
The ones left behind
I am burning for you,
yeah you know it's true.
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
I am burning for you... I am burning for you...
[Solo]
