I'll Be The Night Lyrics - Suicide Songs - Money

when i was a child i made a deal against the sun 

that if it died out that i would carry on 

so you can feel and you can see 

that it's all real 

and you won't have to cry 

i'll be the night, let your systems all transpire 

let them soak up the light then dash them on the fire 

and in the flames of your streets 

children will be laughing at your feet 

and i will be gone 

no one owes you any favours, they only owe you wine 

and a fruitless search for saviours, will leave nothing inside 

i'm married to the sky, im a servant of the hour 

i'm open as time, and i'm perfect without power 

and i will carry your death, and i will speak your final words 

i will draw your final breath, so that it will be heard 

above the sound of your empires tumbling down 

until you're memorised by the ground 

in the bitterness of the end 

oh i pray you're never lonely and that leads you all to love 

i pray you're never empty but cannot fathom the Above 

i pray for your children and that their wishes be understood 

by their masters and their minds and are not buried in the flood 

of other's dreams 

and other's schemes 

and other's teams 

which should be left alone 

and i'll be the night
