lyrics

Prelude (i. The Fallout):
When the red stone fell I went down to the beach to collect the pieces
Too sharp to handle I gathered them up in my cloak and smiled at my bloodied hands
Gently touching the others on the shore, sharing their pain as they cleared the shards
I wiped away the fallout, tenderly tearing my feet on the ashes
a great fire burned the sky bore a hole in my heart and covered the land with darkness
while you bathed the fallen in the ocean returning them to an earthly state.
The air I breathe my angel

(ii. Oath & Order)
Verse 1:
Without four points
We can only try
By the light of the moon
Buy some time for you
O brother dear
gone so long
in the name of your father
we swore an oath
to stand by you

Verse 2:
An oath, to guard
to hold you up
worth measured in generations gone
yours is the only name in the night
false histories burned to keep silent storied legends

Chorus:
Into the night
Awakening what's inside
Into the night
The darkness or the light
...into the night

(iii. Knowledge & Loyalty)

Verse 3:
Burning knowledge of fire
lights the way for you to see when I cannot
How bright your destiny I saw
it was crystal clear
how you'll save us
now just wait for me


Verse 4:
how we're born and who we are
dwelling on the innermost
what we manifest is what we're meant to be
the nature of gods--fate--time--intertwine with our will

Chorus 2:
Into the night
A guide shines in the sky
Into the night
To walk the path that's right


Breakdown (iv. Judgment):
Supported by the violent lights of the past who shone too bright for us to see the devastation of dark energy created and protected by their control
You inherit the trauma wreaked by abusive parents who only wanted to protect, to do what's best, to keep secret their kindness is not a virtue but affectations of necessity, an act of violence on our delicate lives
This destiny means death by trial, by fire and flood, by the wrath of the sky and burden of the earth, by any means
We must kill our fathers before they kill us
To take arms against an injustice of the saving light radiating decay lead by the light filled with darkness, witness to a lucid nightmare, insomniac by any other name
Put up your guard, wall yourself off to lose your friends, your love, your humanity, see how much you lose how far you fall in 10 years and what you'll do to feel again

Chorus:
Into the night
Awakening what's inside
Into the night
The darkness or the light
Into the night
Redemption is in sight
Into the night
Follow the line of light
Into the night

Postlude (v. Promise):
I have been in conflict with this body since before the dawn, before the night, before the walls came up. I will not know rest, but some day the night will take me into sleep.
