Vesper Flare - "We Own The Night"

[Intro — Nyx, airy / distant] Can you hear us through the rain? Through the static, through the flame? Echo Docks are waking up Foxfire in the floodlight [Intro — All, whispered chant] Vesper Flare Vesper Flare We own, we own We own the night [Verse 1 — Juniper] Two tails cutting through the rain Neon dripping down my name Bright orange hair, side-swept flame Step aside, I’m changing lanes Made a spark out of a scar Turned my wish into a star If the harbor wants a show Tell the whole damn city, go [Ad-lib — Cinder] Tiny paws on the stage! No refunds! [Verse 2 — Vix] Silver grin in a cyan haze Black boots on the fire escape Touch the wire, feel it bite I don’t run, I steer the night Sharp current under velvet skin Let the storm come crashing in You can try to cut my sound I’ll come back twice as loud [Pre-Chorus — Saffra] If the city goes cold I’ll burn slow, I’ll burn gold If the signal breaks in two I’ll sing it back to you [Pre-Chorus — Nyx] If the dark says “disappear” We turn up until it hears [Build — All] Hands up Lights down Rain falls Hearts pound [Chorus — All] We own the night We own the glow Foxfire hearts in the undertow We own the rain We own the sound Port Vesper hears us now We own the night We own the flame Say it loud, remember the name We own the sky We own the ground Port Vesper hears us now [Post-Chorus — Juniper + All] Light it up, light it up No going quiet Light it up, light it up We are the fire [Cinder Ad-lib] Confetti containment failed! [Verse 3 — Saffra] Warm light under dockside steel Soft heart, but the bite is real Red-gold shimmer, ember eyes I make ashes harmonize I don’t need to burn too fast I was built from things that last Every note I carry through Leaves a little heat in you [Verse 4 — Nyx] Midnight speaks in broken waves Ghosts of songs the harbor saves CRT halos on my face I bloom in the hidden place Static crown and violet veil Follow where the signals fail If you hear me in the rain Say my name, say my name [Pre-Chorus 2 — Juniper] If the night gets teeth We smile back underneath [Pre-Chorus 2 — Vix] If the lights go dead We become the red [Pre-Chorus 2 — Saffra] If the world turns cold We burn gold, we burn gold [Build — All] Hands up Lights down Rain falls Hearts pound [Chorus — All] We own the night We own the glow Foxfire hearts in the undertow We own the rain We own the sound Port Vesper hears us now We own the night We own the flame Say it loud, remember the name We own the sky We own the ground Port Vesper hears us now [Breakdown — Call and Response] Juniper: Who lights the docks? All: We do, we do Vix: Who runs the current? All: We do, we do Saffra: Who keeps it warm? All: We do, we do Nyx: Who haunts the signal? All: We do, we do Cinder: Who brought the cannon? All: NOT YOU, NOT YOU [Cinder, spoken] under review. [Bridge — All, softer / emotional] We were sparks under bad weather Little flames learning how to stay Now the cranes rise up like cathedrals And the koi run over the bay We were voices in the static We were names they never found But the harbor kept the echo Now we’re turning up the sound [Bridge Lift — Saffra leading, All harmonizing] If you’re lost out in the rain Follow foxfire, follow flame If your signal’s weak tonight Borrow ours until it’s bright [Final Chorus — All, huge] We own the night We own the glow Foxfire hearts in the undertow We own the rain We own the sound Port Vesper hears us now We own the night We own the flame Say it loud, remember the name We own the sky We own the ground Port Vesper hears us now [Post-Chorus — All] Light it up, light it up No going quiet Light it up, light it up We are the fire Light it up, light it up Sing through the wire Light it up, light it up We are the fire [Outro — Nyx + Cinder] Nyx: Can you hear us through the rain? Cinder: tiny paws, big stage Nyx: Through the static, through the flame? Cinder: foxfire forever All: Vesper Flare We own the night
