The Nights Are Mine lyrics

The nights, they are mine

When the world settles to sleep

And the darkness dons its cloak

Quieting the distant daily din

Silent, steady, secret solice

No bureaucracy is calling

Glare of streaming screens

Posts tumbling into troubles

The whims of faceless men

Intentions veiled presentation

A clamour of vagrant voices

Banter boisterous and bold

Preaching prevarications

Of lives never truly lived

Drinks and drugs draining

The night's neon-dotted blanket

Contrasted in the glint of stars

In the glow of civilized light

It illuminates actions taken

While so many others slumber

Quiet, calm, time kept alone

Searching the shadowed silence

Stealth and steady in a world

Where most men fear to tread

Bartered ease to be ever safe

Warriors walk in the night

A thirst for silence and serenity

Chaos and clamour decreasing

Looking for tranquility so elusive

Morning's memories fleeting

My deliverance slumbers again...
