Rise Against - Lanterns lyrics
[Rise Against - Lanterns lyrics]
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
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 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
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 Heaven-sent say, "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 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
(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)
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
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 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
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 Heaven-sent say, "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 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
(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)
