This dark nocturnal secret
Binding us in slumber
We pour deep sleep in the ears of men
Walked through the fire of wicked day
In fear it would score my soul away
But the devil looks after his own
Fly on the wings of this mystery
You've always known
Chorus:
We're alive
We are the Keepers of the night
And we are sin and we're sacrifice
Hold back the light
We are the Keepers of the night
We live your dreams as we ride the skies in disguise
The owls sing enraptured
The worship has begun
The things in dreams we dare set free
Fly on the wings of this mystery
Tonight
Chorus:
We're alive
We are the Keepers of the night
And we are sin and we're sacrifice
Hold back the light
We are the Keepers of the night
We live your dreams as we ride the skies
Chorus:
We're alive
We are the Keepers of the night
And we are sin and we're sacrifice
Hold back the light
We are the Keepers of the night
We live your dreams as we ride the skies
Finally we welcome the dawn
The night is done, the dream withdrawn
And your fantasies are gone
To sleep in silent whispers
While daytime runs its course
Until another dusk is born
Chorus:
We're alive
We are the Keepers of the night
And we are sin and we're sacrifice
Hold back the light
We are the Keepers of the night
We live your dreams as we ride the skies
Chorus:
We're alive
We are the Keepers of the night
And we are sin and we're sacrifice
Hold back the light
We are the Keepers of the night
We live your dreams as we ride the skies in disguise
Keepers of the night
we're sin and sacrifice
