Mantra - We Own the Night lyrics

[Chorus - Drapht] The blood, the dust Yeah we're living for the roar of the Sunday crowd The boom, the bap And we come out when the sun goes down We own the night Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight We own the night And you're god damn right it feels great to be home We own the night [Verse 1 - Drapht] When the sunsets ride in And there's a damsel tied to my track cryin' Fire in the hole riding up Cause pale rider is dynamite when he fire up Never biting my tongue, biting a bullet A young gun pull a crowd, Kalgoorlie to Coolum With my good, my bad No Jessica Mauboy, no Tomahawk, no drug store cowboy Urthboy he's got 'em sticking their hands up Don't need to rob, got one better a Mantra Through the dust redder than Santa's suit Red as rust, red as the blood that the vampires chew, and yup "The owners of the night shall now be revealed" Feel the skies open to tell you In a world that's built around taking what you will And we will, cause well we want [Chorus - Drapht] The blood, the dust Yeah we're living for the roar of the Sunday crowd The boom, the bap And we come out when the sun goes down We own the night Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight We own the night And you're god damn right it feels great to be home We own the night [Verse 2 - Mantra] Uh, yeah Tilt My head to the heavens above, for in sunset we trust When all else fades, all that remain is us Silhouetted by the embers of a red dusk Yesterday's memories embedded in the red dust Roam a path unknown and uncharted Past the last post and back to where it started So far from home, I feel half alone But never part of a show that's half hearted This is where my heart is, blazing a trail Across the night sky with my partners Mantra, Drapht and Urthboy disperse through Your city of residence and kick down curfews "The owners of the night shall now be revealed" With each new town a new battlefield So now you know how my troops feel Eyes of the nation glued to our boot heels [Chorus - Drapht] The blood, the dust Yeah we're living for the roar of the Sunday crowd The boom, the bap And we come out when the sun goes down We own the night Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight We own the night And you're god damn right it feels great to be home We own the night [Verse 3 - Urthboy] You do not need proof with a noose prepared Can't threaten my family and I refuse to beg And though the road may have developed a ruthless air I am not what the accuser said Wanted dead or alive the sign posted Pioneer justice, Authority's boasted But inside the saloon bar Urthboy, Mantra and Drapht were the names they toasted Didn't matter bout the tag latter day bandit Whatever the date Saturday standard Border to border the night time landed We put out the call you answered, chanted "The owners of the night shall now be revealed" We ain't relying on no steel, but the wheels in motion And the hours open, give or take the trimmings And we'll see you again God willing (God willing) [Bridge - All] They call us renegades, rebels and rogues And no good for you so it goes Little did they know that we live by the code That ode, that oath to the wild eye If I live to tell the tale Through the bitter cold morning dew We'll start another fire From the shadow of an ember and walk as new [Chorus - Drapht] The blood, the dust Yeah we're living for the roar of the Sunday crowd The boom, the bap And we come out when the sun goes down We own the night Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight We own the night And you're god damn right it feels great to be home We own the night
