We Own the Night

[Hook: Drapht]

The blood, the dust

Yeah we're livin' for the roar of the Sunday crowd

The boom, the bap

And we come out when the sun goes down, we own the night

Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight, we own the night

And you're god damn right

It feels great to be home

We own the night

[Verse 1: Drapht]

When the sunsets ride in

And there's a damsel tied to my track, cryin'

Fire in the hole riding up

'Cause pale rider is dynamite when he fire up

Never bitin' my tongue, bitin' a bullet

A young gun pull a crowd, Kalgoorlie to Coolum

With my good, my bad, no Jessica Mauboy

No Tomahawk, no drug store cowboy

Urthboy has got 'em sticking their hands up

Don't need to rob, got one better a Mantra

Through the dust redder than Santa's suit

Red as rust, red as the blood that the vampires chew, and yup

"The owners of the night shall now be revealed"

Feel the skies open to tell you

In a world that's built around taking what you will

And we will, 'cause well, we want

[Hook: Drapht]

The blood, the dust

Yeah we're livin' for the roar of the Sunday crowd

The boom, the bap

And we come out when the sun goes down, we own the night

Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight, we own the night

And you're god damn right

It feels great to be home

We own the night

[Verse 2: Mantra]

Uh, yeah, tilt my head to the

Heavens above, for in sunset we trust

When all else fades and all that remain is us

Silhouetted by the embers of a red dusk

Yesterday's memories embedded in the red dust

Roam a path unknown and uncharted

Past the last post and back to where it started

So far from home, I feel half alone

But never part of a show that's half hearted

This is where my heart is, blazin' a trail

Across the night sky with my partners

Mantra, Drapht and Urthboy disperse through your

City of residence and kick down curfews

"The owners of the night shall now be revealed"

With each new town a new battlefield

So now you know how my troops feel

Eyes of the nation glued to our boot heels

[Hook: Drapht]

The blood, the dust

Yeah we're livin' for the roar of the Sunday crowd

The boom, the bap

And we come out when the sun goes down, we own the night

Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight, we own the night

And you're god damn right

It feels great to be home

We own the night

[Verse 3: Urthboy]

You do not need proof with a noose prepared

Can't threaten my family, I refuse to beg

And though the road may have developed a ruthless air

I am not what the accuser said

"Wanted dead or alive" the sign posted

Pioneer justice, authorities boasted

But inside the saloon bar, Urthboy

Mantra and Drapht were the names they toasted

Didn't matter bout the tag latter day bandit

Whatever the date, Saturday standard

Border to border the night time landed

We put out the call you answered, chanted

"The owners of the night shall now be revealed"

We ain't relyin' on no steel, but the wheels in

Motion and the hours open, give or take the trimmings

And we'll see you again God willing (God willing)

[Chorus]

They call us renegades, rebels and rogues

And no good for you so it goes

Little did they know that we live by the code

That ode, that oath to the wild eye

If I live to tell the tale

Through the bitter cold morning dew

We'll start another fire

From the shadow of an ember and walk as new

[Hook: Drapht]

The blood, the dust

Yeah we're livin' for the roar of the Sunday crowd

The boom, the bap

And we come out when the sun goes down, we own the night

Fight with the fire in our eyes, we home tonight, we own the night

And you're god damn right

It feels great to be home

We own the night
