Lanterns Lyrics

This night will fall like any other

Daylight subsides and shadows crawl

Up from under black corners hiding

Something stirs, oh so restless

Cracked windows open wide

Deadbolt 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 around our flame

While the world sleeps we are awake

The blackbird calls, it sings the chorus

While the gathering swells

The flames grow tall right before us

As drums keep pounding

And the mass is now effusing

Bodies pressed and tangled

Yes, 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 around our flame

While the world sleeps we are awake

Here in the dark we are safe from the judgment

Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in

The heaven-sent, they call you hell-bent

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 around the 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

We are awake
