We climb slowly out from under the rock We were hiding nTo greet the sun as it leaves the sky nOn the cycle it was riding nAnd we stand new nBeneath the blanket of stars nSo vast it sways our stance nAnd swaying nWe continue to rise nUntil it becomes one outright dance nnAnd the moon keeps watch as the howling grows nInto one single petal nFrom a very different rose nAnd when we all get lost in nThe throbbing throng's exhaustion nWe actually touch those flickering lights nAnd give them something back nWe are in fact the children of the night nnA spark of smoke in the air nCommands the revelries as I attend nIt says be not afraid beneath nThe heavens for the evening is your friend nnAnd the moon keeps watch as the howling grows nInto one single petal nFrom a very different rose nAnd when we all get lost in nThe throbbing throng's exhaustion nWe actually touch those flickering lights nAnd give them something back nWe are in fact the children of the night
