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 Coro 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 Coro 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 Coro 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Keepers of the night We live your dreams as we ride the skies Finally we welcome the dawn The night is done, the dream withdrawn And your fantasies are gone To sleep in silent whispers While daytime runs its course Until another dusk is born Coro We're alive We are the Keepers of the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 Coro 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
