Night on Fire

When daylight paints the city
She's a decadent sight
But her masquerade is slipping
As streets paved with corruption come to light

When the night falls
Come shadows ever darker
We're getting down to the wire
And on my call
With resolve all the stronger
A spark in the dark ignites
Light the night on fire

If you've entered this system it is my temple
I've ascended to metaphysical levels
I fell from heaven to hell, met with the devil
To revel in the revolution of which I am the vessel
Ready to introduce pedal to metal?
Get into the fast lane with the rest of us rebels
Unless you're a hack, get jacked-in, we'll mentally wrestle
I'm ahead of the network's curve, yet you wanna meddle?
I took the red pill while everyone settled
For decadence, you can forget whoever said that you're special
'Cause if you want the deadliest tech that can be assembled
Get ready to spend, don't enter black markets to heckle
I'm making synth waves, I don't mean instrumentals
On the cyber tide with pirates aligned in my channel
I need a training montage with all that I've learned
After that I got a city to burn

Light the night on fire
Electric blood runs in your veins
Wake up the samurai inside ya
When the gates unlock, you'll walk through the flames

I know my 1984 well
And George Orwell sure knew how to foretell
If you abhor any sort of megacorp, well
Step out of fiction and into your hell
Big brother's got you in a secured cell
Economy's booming 'cause it's true that war sells
When loaded guns are the foremost form of doorbell
Rally round the family with a pocket of more shells
What happens when the dreamers are no longer dormant?
We're the ones who always wanted more than we're born with
If it costs my humanity I can afford it
If poverty's prevalent you can bet I'm gonna ignore it
I sure wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth
If you're stuck a silver tongue will help you to get out
But you gotta walk the talk if you wanna build your brand
And then take back the wealth with a Silverhand

When the night falls
Come shadows ever darker
We're getting down to the wire
And on my call
With resolve all the stronger
A spark in the dark ignites

When daylight paints the city
She's a decadent sight
But her masquerade is slipping
As streets paved with corruption come to light

I feel it in the air
We're all so far from protecting
Their eyes are everywhere
Just let them watch us as we...

Light the night on fire
Electric blood runs in your veins
Wake up the samurai inside us
When the gates unlock, we'll walk through the flames
Walk through the flames
Walk through the flames
Walk through the flames
Light the night on fire
