Текст песни: The Children Of The Night + перевод

When the sun’s out, and the moonlight is in

It blankets the land and a new life begins

With headphones on, stargaze lying in a paddock

Feel the veil of the night wrap its inner fabric

Get the picture from the photo spinner’s magic

And let your view go slomo and cinematic

Kids come far and wide to the urban sprawl

All the way to daybreak when it’s curtain call

They scurry in like sweet synchronicity

Moving like music in a street city symphony

When people sleep and the masses shut shutters

Like clockwork, freestyle after dusk buskers

Motor full of mates, late night escapades

Stealth renegades, burners they set ablaze

Paintings flourish all the way down the boulevard

Block party, late, whole street full of cars

Skaters illuminate the bowl with their headlights

Hear the street riders roll when they rev bikes

Nightriders carve the mountain in the valley haze

Covert op, talent sprays in the alleyways

Kids in the palace of play, cloaked in the dark night

Summertime shooting hoops under the park lights

Guerrilla activists seeing freedom clear

Across the globe sticking up, BnE was here

In the evening, when the stars climb

You can see them, children of the night

Through the seasons, on the dark side

In the deep end, children of the night

When the day’s gone and it unwinds

Let them play on till the sunrise

Rise till we’re all in flight

This is for my people who are children of the night

There’s to many places to park down memory lane

So let me simply start when I remembered the rain

Hit the tin roof, while sitting on my balcony

Isolated like a pirate cast out to sea

Intrigued by what those city lights offer

The world is your oyster type shit, and that’s proper

Hypnotised by it’s highs and it’s lows

A lifestyle that keeps your eyes on the road

See there’s searchers on the prowl for that crowbar access

And graffers throwing up those whole car classics

It’s magic to watch the world trying to compete

A tapestry of culture intertwined with the beast

And that’s right where I eat, where the night never sleeps

And all I need’s a mic and a beat for life in the streets

Over years I’ve put strength in pain, standing strong

Writing songs on an empty train, yeah

I’ve lived a life worth of movies framed through my crooked lens

I’ve travelled way beyond where the book will end

I’ve seen the visual effects behind the scenes

I’ve found a whole other world trying to find my dreams

And temptation will test if you can keep your faith

With the smile of a Cheshire cat to lead the way

Under night-lights, we’ll never stop building

So welcome to the city of the lost children

In the evening, when the stars climb

You can see them, children of the night

Through the seasons, on the dark side

In the deep end, children of the night

When the day’s gone and it unwinds

Let them play on till the sunrise

Rise till we’re all in flight

This is for my people who are children of the night

From the kids in the burbs playing capture the flag

To the cans packed in bags, lads attack with their tags

The core elements, forces of sick skills

Back lane breakers in an orbit of windmills

Writers hit the tracks in the yard where the trains stay

The beat spills and it trickles down the laneways

The streets are bubbling, the beats are rumbling

The free runners swing across an urban jungle gym

In the evening, when the stars climb

You can see them, children of the night

Through the seasons, on the dark side

In the deep end, children of the night

When the day’s gone and it unwinds

Let them play on till the sunrise

Rise till we’re all in flight

This is for my people who are children of the night
