Keldian - Darkness And Light lyrics



Tracks



01. Nightfall

Night falls on us all

Darkness calls me
Beckoning me
In the failing light
I dread the night

Out beyond the shadow
I strain to see
To the other side
To the other me

Darkness kills the light
We fall, nightfall
You are not alone in the fight
Night falls on us all

My racing heart
And my skin of ice
And my pitch black thoughts
Shut out the light

No time to live
And no place to be
This vertigo
Is drowning me

Darkness kills the light
We fall, nightfall
You are not alone in the fight
Night falls on us all

Darkness kills the light
We fall, nightfall
You are not alone in the fight
Night falls on us all
Night falls on us all

Darkness calls me
Beckoning me
I defy the night
And I conjure light

Out beyond the shadow
It's plain to see
To the other side
And the other me

Darkness kills the light
We fall, nightfall
You are not alone in the fight
Night falls on us all

Darkness kills the light
We fall, nightfall
You are not alone in the fight
Night falls on us all
Night falls on us all

Night falls on us all

02. Blood Red Dawn

We'll keep you yearning in darkness
With dreams all so petty and small
We'll keep you fighting our giants
Until you are nothing at all

You'll keep on dying in our wars
'Cause blood can turn dust into gold
You'll be defending our power
Until the earth is all drained, dead, and cold

Snakes of the earth
I know that you are out there hiding
Snakes of the earth
I know that you have played us all for fools
Snakes of the earth
I know that you are out there hiding
Snakes of the earth
Awake the sleepers to a blood-red dawn
Snakes of the earth

Empowered puppets in control
The governing stage has been set
As history plays out by our rules
Generations dismiss and forget

'Cause we have been here for a long time
We've mastered deception and fear
A kingdom with no flag or borders
With daggers and fangs everywhere

Snakes of the earth
I know that you are out there hiding
Snakes of the earth
I know that you have played us all for fools
Snakes of the earth
Your day of reckoning is coming
Snakes of the earth
Awake the sleepers to a blood-red dawn
Snakes of the earth

So you'll keep on craving the circus
Until all your knowledge is lost
Disabled by poisonous comforts
A slave to the grind at any cost

(One by one) we'll lay siege to all freedoms
And finally to liberty's walls
You'll shed no tears when they crumble
No, you'll be demanding they fall

Snakes of the earth
Your day of reckoning is coming
Snakes of the earth
Awake the sleepers to a blood-red dawn
Snakes of the earth
And we will tell our children of your deeds
Snakes of the earth
Your kind will never slither Earth again
Snakes of the earth

We know that you are out there hiding
We know that you have played us all for fools
Your day of reckoning is coming
Awake the sleepers to a blood-red dawn
Snakes of the earth

03. The Haunting

Do you come from the sky?
Do you fly on a silver wing?
I will be paralyzed
You will harvest my body and my mind

Do you rise from the grave?
Have you come from the underworld?
You want me for a slave
I will be just a living dead in chains

Tonight comes the haunting
The night will be frightening
Tonight comes the haunting
And I will be wanting the universe to stop

Do you ride on the wind?
Are you what people call a ghost?
I will not let you in
And still you will be floating through the walls

Do you walk on the lake?
Have you come from the spirit world?
I will be yours to take
For I can't let go of my own self

Tonight comes the haunting
The night will be frightening
Tonight (tonight) comes the haunting
And I (and I) will be wanting the universe to stop

Tonight (tonight) comes the haunting
The night (night) will be frightening
Tonight (tonight) comes the haunting
And I (and I) will be wanting the universe to stop

04. Live And Death Under Strange New Suns

To the Exodus cluster
Code red, no response to our hail
The Geth have landed on Eden
Machines from the Perseus Veil

You brought war to our colonies
Now war comes for you

We are the saviors
Watch us falling from the sky
On wings of thunder
We come to fight by your side
To a symphony of blazing guns
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Life and death under strange new suns
We have come from afar
Just tell us where they are

The Collectors attack
Seeker swarms cover the sky
Through the Omega 4 relay
To uncharted space, stand by

You brought war to our worlds
Now war comes to you

We are avengers
Watch us falling from the sky
On wings of thunder
For those who died by our side
To a symphony of blazing guns
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Life and death under strange new suns
We have come from afar
Just tell us where they are

The cycle continues
And reapers emerge from the void
Every 50,000 years
They return to see life destroyed

You brought war to our galaxy
Now war comes for you

We are the saviors
Watch us falling from the sky
On wings of thunder
We come to fight by your side
To a symphony of blazing guns
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Life and death under strange new suns
We have come from afar
Just tell us where they are

We are avengers
Watch us falling from the sky
On wings of thunder
For those who died by our side
To a symphony of blazing guns
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Life and death under strange new suns
We have come from afar
Just tell us where they are

05. I'm The Last Of Us

Rest
Our time is over now
I lay you down
You sleep forever now

It's been so long
The past is in the ground
Reclaimed and overgrown
Just a few more footsteps in the sand

No more cities in the sky
No golden ships to cross the veil
Beyond the clouds
I scream
But there's no sound

There will be no redemption here
No absolution from this

I'm carving letters
Rusted metal into stone
One perfect moment in time
Before it's all gone

For the last of us
I'm the last of us

Fly
You are a memory now
This was our dream
A place of light amidst the dark

We
Were made of greatness once
Seeded new life
And reined the power in our stars

No more keepers in your skies
No golden ships to kindle dreams
Beyond the clouds
I scream
But we're all alone now

There will be no redemption here
No absolution from this

I'm carving letters
Rusted metal into stone
One perfect moment in time
Before it's all gone

For the last of us
I'm the last of us

I'm carving letters
Rusted metal into stone
One perfect moment in time
Before it's all gone

For the last of us
I'm the last of us

No one remembers our name
But we were here
And we died in vain

No one will remember us
No one will know our name
A glorious empire lost in time
Gone, like tears in rain

06. Change The World

Eyes on the terminal, eyes on the door
We are ghosts and shadows, decks on the floor
The patch is good, signals five by five
We are jackin' in, I will see you inside

A jolt down my spine and we're riding the light
I see the gridlines coming down in front of my eyes
The hunt is on but it holds no thrills
Being legends is easy when you got mad skills

Black I.C.E.
Another high-rise
This is life in Night City
And even if you're half as good
You know thieves never should
Cross their hearts and hope to die

Push me
And I'll push you back
Stay with me
No system we can't crack
I feel alive
And I'll always be like you
You can love me
I will love you too

And the world will change tonight
Yes, the world will change tonight
We will change the world tonight
Just two outlaws on the highways of light

Pay-data secured, we are heading back out
Nodes are compromised, need to reroute
A weird surge on the grid, dammit, somethin' ain't right
Loading combat programs, we explode into light

I yank the jack from my head in a dump shock daze
Rebooting cyberware, I touch your face
Your lips ain't movin' and the patch is fried
The door is breached, nowhere to hide

Black I.C.E.
Another high-rise
This is life in Night City
And even if you're half as good
You know thieves never should
Cross their hearts and hope to die

Push me
And I'll push you back
Run with me
No system we can't crack
I am alive
But I'm no longer like you
Can you love me?
I will love you too

And the world will change tonight
Yes, the world will change tonight
We will change the world tonight
Just two outlaws on the highways of light

Beautiful colors
Rolling waves on laser rays
Bullets and blades
Flying through the crimson haze
Sparks, dust, and neon lights
All dancing with the dead
Chaos slows to silence
As the stims reach your head

Shadows in code on every screen
I know that style, you are still in
Electric angel wings
And burning chrome
She whispers
"Run"
"Run"

And the world will change tonight
Yes, the world will change tonight
We will change the world tonight
Just two outlaws on the highways of light

And the world will change tonight
Yes, the world will change tonight
We will change the world tonight
Just two outlaws on the highways of light

And the world will change tonight
Yes, the world will change tonight
We will change the world tonight
Just two outlaws on the highways of light

And the world will change tonight
Yes, the world will change tonight
We will change the world tonight
Just two outlaws on the highways of light

07. Broadside

I am just a simple man
I just do what I can
I am no leader but they follow me
I give no promises nor lies

We used to share this dream
Now it is lost it would seem
Your greed for power, your precious policies
Your laws took everything from me

All channels hail
To hell with all confederation sails
There'll be no talking today
This place is our own, we're not going away

Broadside
It is you who can't hide
From our broadside
She was the hammer of the stars
Broadside
We will never stand down
From our broadside
Striking fear in your hearts

This is a lost man's path
One of vengeance and wrath
But there is hope for those who follow me
You may see liberty again

We came from lightyears away
Relentless, defiant, we stay
No silver-tongued emissary can save you now
You took everyone from me

All channels hail
To hell with all confederation sails
It is a good day to die
All weapons free, light up the sky

Broadside
It is you who can't hide
From our broadside
She was the hammer of the stars
Broadside
We will never stand down
From our broadside
Striking fear in your hearts

Broadside
It is you who can't hide
From our broadside
She was the hammer of the stars
Broadside
We will never stand down
From our broadside
Striking fear in your hearts

Broadside
It is you who can't hide
From our broadside
She was the hammer of the stars
Broadside
We will never stand down
From our broadside
Striking fear in your hearts

Broadside

08. Crown Of Starlight

Ancient light in the sky
Billions of years are passing by
Defying comprehension
(Space and time)

A tiny speck in the dark
Perfection in a graceful arc
A little piece of who we are
(Shooting star)

(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Dance away the night
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Children of the moonlight
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Hold your head up high
(Oh, oh-oh)
Claim the crown of starlight

No darkness that can take us down
No evil that can break us now
The light of beauty never dies
(Perfect spheres)

Old mother sun is you and me
Stardust beyond eternity
On the intergalactic sea
(Breaking free)

(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Dance away the night
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Children of the moonlight
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Hold your head up high
(Oh, oh-oh)
Claim the crown of starlight
