Lyrics
This is the Night
(Written and Performed by Michael Jones)
Where you gonna go child
Where you gonna go child
Where you gonna go when tomorrow comes
Where you gonna go child
Dead lights in a fading city
Dreamers in a crossfire wind
Poets scared of what they are feeling
Knowing something is about to begin
Old roads rising into the blackness
Strapped heat from a smoking gun
Ice stare like a bloodshot rocket
No one cares if we lost or we won
This is the night when it all comes down
This the night it goes and comes around
This is the night the blood is on the crown
This is the night we burn it to the ground
Hate burns like the eyes of a demon
Love died forty miles ago
This is a blaze of furious glory
This is a madman's opening show
Rising up just to tear down tomorrow
Nothing left of what's wrong and right
A devil's smile in the eyes of children
We're all dyin' so why not tonight
Bridge
This is the place
The ending race
An unsmasked face
Was it all a waste?
Tonight's the night
We take the crown
Eight billion blades
Strike the masters down
We've got tonight
One final roar
All that we are, till we are no more
We've got tonight
One final roar
All that we are, till we are no more
Where you gonna go child,
Where you gonna go child,
Where you gonna go when tomorrow comes.
Where you gonna go child
