Money - I'll Be The Night lyrics

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, I'm a servant of the hour I'm open as time, and I'm perfect without power And I will carry your d**h, 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
