"Long Night" lyrics

"Long Night"

It was a long night for everyone
The moon yields to a sober sun
And her virgin light

Can't unsee the things I saw
Fallen devils, false gods
In the violet light

Was it always this magnificent
'Cause it feels so different
In the morning light

Like the first word from your first born
Landscape transformed
By the virgin light

How many times I've wished for change
Gave up, gave in, and called it fate
Repeating all of the same mistakes
Wasn't ready for what I'd find

Whatever it is has turned the knife
It was a long, long night

It was a long night for everyone
Felt the dull hum of wanderlust
In the morning light

Can't unsee the things I saw
Fallen devils, false gods
In the violent light

But now I finally see the sun
Drew out my wings flew over high tide
It looks much different in the daylight

How many times I've wished for change
Gave up, gave in, and called it fate
Repeating all of the same mistakes
Wasn't ready for what I'd find

Whatever it is has turned the knife
It was a long, long night

I'm finally reaching to the sun
Ten thousand years there is a long time
Did you get away?

I'm finally reaching to the sun
Ten thousand years there is a long time
Did you get away?

Did you get away?
Did you get away?
Did you get away?
Did you get away?
