Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The blood, the dust
Yeah, we're living 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 own the night
We own the night
And we goddamn right
It feels great to be home
We own the night
[Verse 2]
When the sunsets ride in
And there's a damsel tied to my track crying
Fire in the hole riding up
'Cause pale ride is dynamite when he fire up
Never bitting my tongue
Bitting the bullet
The young gun pull a crowd
Gulley to gun 'em
With my good my bad
No Jessica Mauboy
No Tomahawk
No drugstore cowboy
[Verse 3]
Urthboy he's got 'em stickin' their hands up
Don't need to rob got on better a mantra
Through dust redder than Santa's suit
Red as rust red as the blood 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 build around taking what you will when we will
'Cause well
[Verse 4]
We want the blood the dust
Yeah, we're living 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 own the night, we own the night
And you're goddamn right it feel great to be home
We own the night
[Verse 5]
Tilt my head to the heavens above
For in sunset we trust
When all else fades and all that remains is us
Silhouetted by the embers of a red dusk
Yesterday's memories
Embedded in the red dusk
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
'Cause this is where my heart is
Blazing 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
[Verse 6]
The blood, the dust
Yeah, we're living 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 own the night, we own the night
And your goddamn right it feels great to be home
We own the night
[Verse 7]
You do not need proof with a noose prepared
Can't threaten my family
I refuse to beg
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
Authority's boasted
But inside the saloon bar Urthboy, Manta, and Drapht
Were the names they toasted
[Verse 8]
Didn't 'bout the tag letter they band it
Whatever the day Saturday standard
Border to border the nighttime landed
We put out the call you
Answered, chanted
The owners of the night shall now be revealed
We ain't relaying on no steel but the wheels in motion
And the eye was open, give or take the trimmings
And we'll see you again, God willing
[Verse 9]
They called 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
[Verse 10]
The blood, the dust
Yeah, we're living 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 own the night
We own the night
And you're goddamn right it feel great to be home
We own the night
