The tide does rise and fall
Endless in its rhyme
As if it's tied to rope
Hanging from the sky

City lights do shine
We can't see beyond
Headlights in the fog

The stars are lost in sight
Reflections of the light
From buildings and machines

We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back
We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back

We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back
We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back
Blackness
Blackness
Infinite black
Take us back to the shapeless light
Blackness
Blackness
Infinite black
Take us back to the shapeless light

The tide does rise and fall
City lights do shine

The stars are lost in sight
Reflections of the light
From buildings and machines

We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back
We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back

We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back
We can't hold back the night
We can't hold it back
We can't hold it back
Blackness
Blackness
Infinite black
Take us back to the shapeless light
Blackness
Blackness
Infinite black
Take us back to the shapeless light
Blackness

Infinite black
Take us back to the shapeless light
Blackness

Take us back to the shapeless light

Take us back to the shapeless light

Take us back to the shapeless
