Nighttime Heists (feat. Luke Emerson)
Red Graves
[Cass] Take a breath and taste that bitter air The sun descends and paints your world in monochrome a portrait of despair Every passing year reminds you Just how far you've had to stray To see another day But tonight The stars have all gone dark And yesterday's disgraces snake like chains around your heart Every step you take is wasted Every effort made is strained But you know you must persist Praying there's a better way than this There's no seat at the table for the guilty and afraid To stake your claim and win it all What would you give away? Would you leave behind your name? And cast your soul away? To take what you've desired all your life? There's no safety on the path you'll tread And most who walk it end up dead But we could rewrite history tonight You've lived what feels like centuries alone And there's never been a place that felt like home The time has come to take a stand I know this isn't what you planned So come my love and take my hand I'll show you there's a better way than this Oh there's a better way... We'll be known by greater names And cast our sins away Become the very things that we reviled There's no hand above to stop us now We'll kill the kings and take their crowns And when we die we'll do it with a smile I'm not ashamed of what we are We'll paint this sky in brilliant stars You're the one they worship now Your head alone can bear the crown The night is yours to do with as you please So bring them to their knees Bring them to their knees [Solo: Ahmed] Oh I am yours and you are mine I give to you this love divine The night is ours to do with as we please All because [Luke] We left behind our names We cast our souls away Snuffed out the light of day And revelled in the night
