The Children Of The Night Lyrics - Blues Traveler

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
