lyrics

“Ah, welcome my friends.
Come dine. Come join me at the table
and let us feast together on this night!

Come with me and you’ll see.
I’ll show you all you could be.
You’ll be king. You’re name’ll ring
Upon the lips of men!

Clap your hands! Your fingers snap!
Pleasure… all you can have!
Take your drink and taste her skin...
All is yours to have!

Forks, knives, platters of food.
One man’s mistake is another man’s loot.
Women and gold. All this you’ll have.
Now come sit and drink!
Let’s have a chat...

Oh please do tell me of this
God whom you call king. Where is he?
So sure he’s coming? Why don’t you stay?
Your men look weak. Let them eat!”

Live by this bread alone
One Word can fill these souls
The law is written down
(The law is written on the hearts of these men)
No man here holds the crown
(Let them bear witness of the truth within)

“Look at the skies, at the earth...
Are men not like dogs piling scraps
and stealing dirt?
Women and children all singing their songs:
‘If God won’t show up then hope it did us wrong!’
Live through the night. Leave that behind.
Don’t’ waste your prayers!
Their God’s not coming!
Drink! Drink! Drink! Sleep…

Well, what do you say?
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Tick tock tick tock…
La la la la la la la la la la la la la”

Lies

I knew a boy who saw the pretty things
The glitter’s black, he settled for the scheme
Oh, you knew him and you threw him to the sea
Your teeth are sharp, your tongue is slick
But I must persist
I plead Christ

“But when the cities, they fall
and the skies go black...
When the world starts to burn
will you then turn your backs?”

(Because of Christ)
We will arise
The sons in night
Lights

“Take the cup, the sting won’t last.
Drip by drip, the burn will pass.
Drink… drink… go to sleep.”

Take the cup, the sting has passed
But the fire is real
Drip by drip, do not forget the blood
Remember

All those stones we carried
All the dead we buried
Through the cold we tarried
The long night He carried on
For our souls He carried
(The long night song)
All of death He buried
(Our souls cry on)
Now through this love we tarry
(We hold tight on)
In the long night we carry on
(We carry on)

All our souls He carried
In the long night we carry on

Row, row, row the night is long

Hold on

The long night song
Our souls cry on
We hold tight on
We carry on
