Nocturnal (The Essence Version)

The moment when the sun goes down
And dusk comes crawling into town
Our eyes open wide
Why should we fear what belongs to us?
When the night is already ours?

We are nocturnal
We do not sleep at night
We are nocturnal, oh
And we will wait
For the light
To fade

We move silently
The ground we know is beneath our feet
The thrill
Of adventure captures our thoughts

We are nocturnal
We do not sleep at night
We are nocturnal, oh
And we will wait
For the light
To fade

Through the trees we dance
Our eyes are used to slim shivers of light
We are afraid and the dark does not show
The things we'd usually try to hide
And as our shadows begin to chase each other
Let me tell you one thing
There's a rush that comes with not caring what people think

We are nocturnal
We do not sleep at night
We are nocturnal, oh
And we will wait
For the light
To fade

Tiredness wraps around me like a heavy blanket
I see dawn creeping over the edge of the earth

And we will wait
For the blinding sunlight
That is when we rest our heads
Filled with dreams of a wondrous night
Craving to find a home in the light
Mmmm
