We are the Valvet we are the black

​(Verse 1)

When the neon dies and the steeples fade

We emerge from the walls that the daylight made

With hearts like coal and eyes like glass

We watch the ghost of the city pass

They call us broken, they call us blind

But we’re the ones they left behind.

​(Pre-Chorus)

The sun is a lie that the weary believe

But the night is a secret we wear on our sleeve

So raise up your lanterns, let the shadows ignite

We’re the kings and the queens of the endless night.

​(Chorus)

We are the velvet, we are the black

We’re the ones who are never coming back

Hand in hand in the pouring rain

We find the beauty inside the pain

Oh-oh, oh-oh

We are the sons of the silver moon

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Singing the dark’s eternal tune.

​(Verse 2)

They fear the silence, we call it home

In the hollow halls where the outcasts roam

No need for gold, no need for grace

We see the truth in a stranger's face

A brotherhood built in the violet hour

Where the withered seeds begin to flower.

​(Bridge)

(Spoken/Whispered)

Let the world sleep.

Let the light burn out.

In the depth of the dark,

We found what life is about.

​(Guitar Solo / Heavy Orchestral Swell)

​(Final Chorus)

We are the velvet, we are the black

We’re the ones who are never coming back

Hand in hand in the pouring rain

We find the beauty inside the pain

Oh-oh, oh-oh

We are the sons of the silver moon

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Singing the dark’s eternal tune.

​(Outro)

The night is ours.

The night is ours.

Children of the shadow...

We finally found our stars.
