The Children of The Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bliss] When the Sun's out, and the moonlight is in It blankets the land, and a new life begins With headphones on, stargaze, lying in a paddock Feel the veil of the night wrap its inner fabric Get the picture from the photo spinner's magic And let your view go slo-mo and cinematic Kids come far and wide to the urban sprawl All the way to daybreak when it's curtain call They scurry in like sweet synchronicity Moving like music in a street city symphony When people sleep, and the masses shut shutters Like clockwork, freestyle after-dusk buskers Motor full of mates, late-night escapades Stealth renegades, burners they set ablaze Paintings flourish all the way down the boulevard Block party, late, whole street full of cars Skaters illuminate the bowl with their headlights Hear the street riders roll when they rev bikes Nightriders carve the mountain in the valley haze Covert op, talent sprays in the alleyways Kids in the palace of play, cloaked in the dark night Summertime shooting hoops under the park lights Guerrilla activists seeing freedom clear Across the globe sticking up, BnE was here [Chorus: Bliss & Eso] In the evening, when the stars climb You can see them, children of the night Through the seasons, on the dark side In the deep end, children of the night When the day is gone and it unwinds Let 'em play on till the sunrise (Rise) Till we're all in flight This is for my people who are children of the night [Verse 2: Eso] There's too many places to park down memory lane So let me simply start when I remembered the rain Hit the tin roof while sitting on my balcony Isolated like a pirate cast out to sea Intrigued by what those city lights offer The world is your oyster-type shit, and that's proper Hypnotised by it's highs and it's lows A lifestyle that keeps your eyes on the road See, there's searchers on the prowl for that crowbar access And graffers throwing up those whole car classics It's magic to watch the world try and compete A tapestry of culture intertwined with the beast And that's right where I eat, where the night never sleeps And all I need's a mic and a beat for life in the streets Over years, I've put strength in pain, standing strong Writing songs on an empty train, yeah I've lived a life worth of movies framed through my crooked lens I've traveled way beyond where the book'll end I've seen the visual effects and behind-the-scenes I found a whole other world tryna find my dreams And temptation will test if you can keep your faith With the smile of a Cheshire cat to lead the way Under night-lights, we'll never stop building So welcome to the city of the lost children [Chorus: Bliss & Eso] In the evening, when the stars climb You can see them, children of the night Through the seasons, on the dark side In the deep end, children of the night When the day is gone and it unwinds Let 'em play on till the sunrise (Rise) Till we're all in flight This is for my people who are children of the night [Verse 3: Bliss] From the kids in the 'burbs playing capture the flag To the cans packed in bags, lads attack with their tags The core elements, forces of sick skills Back lane breakers in an orbit of windmills Writers hit the tracks in the yard where the trains stay The beat spills, and it trickles down the laneways The streets are bubbling, the beats are rumbling The free runners swing across an urban jungle gym [Chorus: Bliss & Eso] In the evening, when the stars climb You can see them, children of the night Through the seasons, on the dark side In the deep end, children of the night When the day is gone and it unwinds Let 'em play on till the sunrise (Rise) Till we're all in flight This is for my people who are children of the night [Scratches] "Now, who believes dreams speak?" "Step into my house, all kids leave dreaming" "Children of the night" "In your youth, you're just blowing in the wind" "Where the floorboards creak and the kids Keep singing" "Children of the night" "Now, who believes dreams speak?" "Children of the night" "All kids leave dreaming" "Children of the night" "Children of the night" "Children of the night" "Children of the night"
