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
