Sister night
Save the world
While nobody’s looking
I won’t tell
And dawn is dead
None will wake before you’re done
Swallow us whole
Let us grow inside your womb
Blind and warm
Sew the flesh back to our bones
Heal
Heal
Heal
The broken world
Wake
Wake
Wake
The sleepwalker
Sister night
Push us out
Into the open air
Hear our cries
The shock of life
For us to begin again
Embrace us
Push new breath into our lungs
Give us sight
Bring the birth of a new sun
Rise
Rise
Rise
Fellow man
Love
Love
Submit
And learn to love again
