[Verse 1] Rising like a lightspill from this sleeping town Like a light in a lover's eyes Rising from the hearts of sleepers all around All those dreamers trying to light the sky [Chorus] Burning all night long Burning at the gates of dawn Singing near and far Singing to raise the morning star [Verse 2] Rising like lightning in the pregnant air It's electric, I can feel its might I can feel it crackling in my nails and hair Makes me feel like I'm dancing on feet of light [Chorus] Burning all night long Burning at the gates of dawn Singing near and far Singing to raise the morning star Burning all night long Burning at the gates of dawn Singing near and far Singing to raise the morning star [Post-Chorus] We are burning all night long Burning at the gates of dawn Singing near and far Singing to raise the morning star We are burning all night long Burning at the gates of dawn Singing near and far Singing to raise the morning star [Outro] To raise the morning star To raise the morning star To raise the morning star To raise the morning star To raise the morning star To raise the morning star
