[Intro – Chanting]
(children, children, children of the night)
Blood on the moon, we rise, we rise
(children, children, children of the night)
Ash in our lungs, no light in our eyes
(children, children, children of the night)
Bound by the curse, baptized in the blight
(children, children, children of the night)
We are the swarm, we’re the end of your light
[Verse 1]
Born in the shadow of a rusted cross
Cradled by the echo of a thousand lost
Teeth like sermons, eyes like graves
We learned to pray by howling at the plague
Glass in our veins, black in our breath
Kissing the scars on the mouth of death
Rats in the rafters, wings in the walls
We are the names that your God never calls
[Pre-Chorus]
We drink the dusk, we starve the dawn
We are the wound in the world you pawned
Your holy words mean nothing here
We sharpen faith into spears of fear
[Chorus]
We are the children of the night
Born from the venom of your light
We feast on angels when they fall
Heaven trembles when we crawl
We are the children of the void
Crucify the sun you so enjoyed
From your ruins we ignite
We are the children of the night
[Verse 2]
Choirs of sirens in the sewer hum
Beckon the broken, the beaten, the numb
Streetlight halos flicker and choke
While we dance in the incense of burning hope
Homes are cathedrals of unspoken screams
Fathers bleed out in their digital dreams
Mothers are altars of pills and wine
We lick the dust of their wasted time
[Pre-Chorus]
You locked us out behind your gates
Sold our futures, called it fate
Now every tear you never dried
Becomes the knife at your perfect life
[Chorus]
We are the children of the night
Born from the venom of your light
We feast on angels when they fall
Heaven trembles when we crawl
We are the children of the void
Crucify the sun you so enjoyed
From your ruins we ignite
We are the children of the night
[Bridge – Chant / Breakdown]
(children of the night, children of the noose)
Hung from the rafters of your sacred abuse
(children of the night, children of the flame)
Carved from the absence of your holy name
(children of the night, children of the scars)
We’ll drag your heaven down by its stars
[Breakdown]
You built your kingdom on our broken backs
Bricks of denial, mortar of cracks
Now hear the lullaby of shattered glass
As every mirror sings of your collapse
Your silver crosses, they bend and rust
The blood of prophets flakes to dust
We are the choir of neglected sins
Counting the beats till the end begins
[Final Chorus]
We are the children of the night
Born from the venom of your light
We feast on angels when they fall
Heaven trembles when we crawl
We are the children of the void
Crucify the sun you so enjoyed
From your ruins we ignite
We are the children of the night
[Outro]
We are the end of your holy light
Children… children… of the night….
