Lyrics

[00:00.76] And when the lights go low
[00:03.00] Oh you know we can't hold
[00:06.30] To the feeling that haunts you
[00:10.67] So now we let it go head
[00:13.09] To toe open glow
[00:15.80] To the rhythm that wants you
[00:19.40] To move like a human
[00:23.27] And be where you are
[00:30.72] Glide like an eagle
[00:32.96] And die like a star
[00:40.35] Ready and able
[00:42.17] And bristled and primed
[00:49.93] Move like an ocean
[00:52.10] And run over time
[00:57.13] Catch my dying breath
[01:00.47] I suppose it could go to the soul
[01:03.28] That controlled you
[01:04.82] That did something cold to you
[01:10.14] I would hope that the night time
[01:12.45] Would gently unfold you
[01:14.46] Shift up your point of view
[01:17.92] I'll be your messenger
[01:19.65] Your minister your morbid curiosity
[01:24.44] In the hands of the night
[01:26.19] You're a plaything
[01:27.73] I'll be your passenger
[01:29.64] Your pleasurer your terminal velocity
[01:33.64] In the absence of light
[01:35.63] We're the same thing
[01:38.13] Animals all you're a breed of distinction
[01:47.74] Animals on to the edge of extinction
[01:54.80] Catch my dying breath
[01:58.07] I suppose we could go to the souls
[02:00.88] That control you
[02:02.54] What are they holding to
[02:07.69] I would hope that the night time
[02:10.00] Would gently unfold you
[02:11.90] Show you a thing or two
[02:15.54] I'll be your messenger your minister
[02:18.34] Your morbid curiosity
[02:22.09] In the hands of the night
[02:23.65] You're a plaything
[02:25.08] I'll be your passenger your pleasurer
[02:27.71] Your terminal velocity
[02:31.50] In the absence of light
[02:33.18] We're the same thing
[02:35.02] I'll be your altitude
[02:36.45] Your attitude the victim of your vanity
[02:41.38] In the hands of the night
[02:42.89] You're a plaything
[02:44.35] I'll be your come what may
[02:46.29] Your tried and true
[02:47.54] I’ll help you shake your sanity
[02:50.92] In the absence of light
[02:52.04] It's the same thing
[03:00.56] In the absence of light
[03:01.87] It's the same thing
[03:10.24] In the absence of light
[03:11.43] It's the same thing
