We climb slowly out from under the rock We were hiding To greet the sun as it leaves the sky On the cycle, it were riding And we stand new Beneath the blanket of stars So vast it sways our stance Swaying, we continue to rise Until it becomes one outright dance And the moon keeps watch as the howling grows Into one single petal from a very different rose And when we all get lost in The throbbing throng's exhaustion We actually touch those flickering lights And give them something back We are in fact the children of the night A spark of smoke in the air Commands the revelries I attend It says, "Be not afraid beneath the heavens For the evening is your friend" And the moon keeps watch as the howling grows Into one single petal from a very different rose And when we all get lost in The throbbing throng's exhaustion We actually touch those flickering lights And give them something back We are in fact the children of the night
