Bliss n Eso - The Children of The Night lyrics

When the sun’s out, and the moonlight is in
It blankets the land and a new life begins
With headphones on
Stargaze lying in a paddock
Feel the veil of the night
Wrap it's inner fabric
Get the picture from the
Photo spinner’s magic
And let your view go slomo and cinematic
Kids come far and wide to the urban sprawl
All the way to daybreak
When it’s curtain call
They scurry in like sweet synchronicity
Moving like music in a street city symphony
When people sleep and the
Masses shut shutters

Like clockwork, freestyle after dusk buskers
Motor full of mates, late night escapades
Stealth renegades, burners they set ablaze
Paintings flourish all the way
Down the boulevard
Block party, late, whole street full of cars
Skaters illuminate the bowl
With their headlights
Hear the street riders roll
When they rev bikes
Nightriders carve the mountain in
The valley haze
Covert op, talent sprays in the alleyways
Kids in the palace of play
Cloaked in the dark night
Summertime shooting hoops under
The park lights
Guerrilla activists seeing freedom clear
Across the globe sticking up, BnE was here

In the evening, when the stars climb
You can see them, children of the night
Through the seasons, on the dark side
In the deep end, children of the night
When the day’s gone and it unwinds
Let them play on till the sunrise
Rise till we’re all in flight
This is for my people who
Are children of the night

There’s to many places to
Park down memory lane
So let me simply start when
I remembered the rain
Hit the tin roof, while sitting on my balcony
Isolated like a pirate cast out to sea
Intrigued by what those city lights offer
The world is your oyster type shit
And that’s proper
Hypnotised by it’s highs and it’s lows
A lifestyle that keeps your eyes on the road
See there’s searchers on the prowl
For that crowbar access
And graffers throwing up those
Whole car classics it’s magic to watch the
World trying to compete
A tapestry of culture intertwined
With the beast and that’s right where I eat
Where the night never sleeps
And all I need’s a mic and a
Beat for life in the streets
Over years I’ve put strength in pain
Standing strong

Writing songs on an empty train, yeah
I’ve lived a life worth of movies
Framed through my crooked lens
I’ve travelled way beyond where
The book will end
I’ve seen the visual effects
Behind the scenes
I’ve found a whole other world
Trying to find my dreams
And temptation will test if you
Can keep your faith
With the smile of a Cheshire
Cat to lead the way
Under night-lights, we’ll never stop building
So welcome to the city of the lost children

In the evening, when the stars climb
You can see them, children of the night
Through the seasons, on the dark side
In the deep end, children of the night
When the day’s gone and it unwinds
Let them play on till the sunrise
Rise till we’re all in flight
This is for my people who
Are children of the night

From the kids in the burbs
Playing capture the flag
To the cans packed in bags
Lads attack with their tags
The core elements, forces of sick skills
Back lane breakers in an orbit of windmills
Writers hit the tracks in the
Yard where the trains stay
The beat spills and it
Trickles down the laneways
The streets are bubbling
The beats are rumbling
The free runners swing across
An urban jungle gym

In the evening, when the stars climb
You can see them, children of the night
Through the seasons, on the dark side
In the deep end, children of the night
When the day’s gone and it unwinds
Let them play on till the sunrise
Rise till we’re all in flight
This is for my people who
Are children of the night
