The Night Starts Here

The night starts here, the night starts here
Forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here
Forget your name, forget your fear

The pleasure part, the afterthought
The missing stone in the graveyard
The task at hand, the time we had
The love it takes to become a man

The dust at dawn is rained upon
Attaches itself to everyone
No one is spared, no one is clean
It travels places you've never been or seen before

The night starts here, the night starts here
Forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here
Forget your name, forget your fear

You drop a coin into the sea
And shout out, "Please come back to me!"
You name your child after your fear
And tell them, "I have brought you here"

The pleasure part, the aftershock
The moment that it takes to fall apart
The time we had, the task at hand
The love it takes to destroy a man

The ecstasy, the being free
That big black cloud over you and me
And after that, the upwards fall
And were we angels, after all?

I don't know, I don't know

The night starts here, the night starts here
Forget your name and forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here
Forget your name and forget your fear

You drop a coin into the sea
And shout out, "Please come back to me!"
You name your child after your fear
And tell them, "I have brought you here"

The night starts here (the scary part)
The night starts here (the aftershock)
Forget your name (the moment that)
Forget your fear (it takes to fall apart)

The night starts here (the time we had)
The night starts here (the task at hand)
Forget your name (the love it takes)
Forget your fear (to destroy a man)

You drop a coin (the ecstasy)
Into the sea (the being free)
And shout out (that big black cloud)
"Please come back to me!" (over you and me)

You name your child (and after that)
After your fear (the upwards fall)
And tell them (and were we angels)
"I have brought you here" (after all?)

The night starts here (I don't know)
The night starts here (I don't know)
Forget your name
Forget your fear

The night starts here (I don't know)
The night starts here
Forget your name (I don't know)
Forget your fear (I don't know)

You drop a coin into the sea
And shout out, "Please come back to me!"
You name your child after your fear
And tell them, "I have brought you here"
