Hey sir, tell me that story again
Mister would you send me a long, lost friend?
Didn't wanna end up on my own again
Me and my friends took on this town; we were young
Became the sky and the world became our gun
We carried fire from the sun
(chorus)
Under the streetlights we fight for an honest prize
fiery souls, burned into our eyes
We held against the storm
brothers in the night
Someone would always break a window and laugh
Rebelling against the wind and fighting out of traps
We found a dream but we lost the path
Now our neighbourhoods have turned into rust
like an old mistress you love but you can't trust
History turns gold into dust
(chorus)
Under the streetlights we fight for an honest prize
fiery souls, burned into our eyes
We held against the storm
brothers in the night
Out in the cold with a promise to defend
every great wall built will fall in the end
we didn't have second-sight
My brothers in the night
Hey man, send me a photograph
Something I don't have, something from the past
before the memories fade at last
I'm sending out an invitation with this song
if you can't make it you can sing along, wouldn't that be nice?
Meet me in the shadows of your eyes
(chorus)
