[Verse 1] (soft, piano / clean guitar) Streetlights hum over empty stone Footsteps vanish where the shadows grow Every door locked, every window closed But the city still remembers every soul it stole [Pre-Chorus] Names on missing posters peeling off the wall No one hears their voices when the darkness calls [Chorus] Lost in the night, sacrificed this only life It’s too late to save me now, I’m fading quietly Lost in the night, lay me where my ghosts will be Bury me somewhere God can see [Verse 2] Cold wind whispers through the alley ways Echoes trailing off like half-forgotten prayers I feel their fingers pulling at my sleeve Every face a warning of the way that I could leave [Pre-Chorus] I call out to the silence, but it answers slow Every step I’m taking, I’m not sure I want to know [Chorus] Lost in the night, sacrificed this only life It’s too late to save me now, I’m fading quietly Lost in the night, lay me where my ghosts will be Bury me somewhere God can see [Bridge] (this is where it gets heavy – full band crashes in) Pull me under, drag me down I hear them singing from beneath the ground All the ones the daylight chose to forget But the dark keeps every secret it can get (Guitars open up / drums double-time) Tear the sky, let the heavens break If I disappear, will they feel the quake? Call my name until your voice bleeds clean If I’m gone tonight, remember what it means [Final Chorus] (bigger, more desperate) Lost in the night, sacrificed this only life It’s too late to save me now, but don’t turn away from me Lost in the night, lay me where my ghosts will be Bury me somewhere God can see [Outro] (soft again, piano + voice) Streetlights flicker, one by one they fall If I fade into the dark, did you hear me call?
