Rise Against - Lanterns Lyrics






This night will fall like any other
Daylight subsides and shadows crawl
Out from under black corners
Hiding something
Stirs, all so restless
Cracked windows open wide
Dead-bolt turns doors creak open
With stars and moonlight there to guide

Come raise your lantern to the sky
Can we illuminate this night?
We'll dance like heathens round a flame
While the world sleeps we are awake

The black brook calls
It sings a chorus
While the gathering swells
The flames grow tall
Right before us
As drums keep pounding
And the masses now are fusing
Bodies pressed and tangled
As we revel in confusion
Our inhibitions thrown into the fire

Come raise your lantern to the sky
Can we illuminate this night?
We'll dance like heathens round a flame
While the world sleeps we are awake

Here in the dark we are safe from the judgement
Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in
The heaven-sent say, "Child, you are hell-bent."
But hell is not where we're going
Hell's where we've been

Come raise your lantern to the sky
And let's illuminate this night
We'll dance like heathens round the flame
And while the world sleeps we are awake

Raise your lantern to the sky
And let's illuminate this night
We'll dance like heathens around the flames
And while the world sleeps we are awake
We are awake
(raise your lantern to the sky)
We are awake
We are awake
(now raise your lantern to the sky)
We are awake
Yeah we are awake

  1. m.... j....

    Oysters bridge jumping borders and teeth school follow the blood stains

  2. S.... H....

    I've seen Rise Against live about 7 times. The first time, in 2004, I didn't know who they were. The first song I heard from them was 1000 good intentions and from then on I was hooked. Warped tour 06 in south Jersey was the best of their shows I've been to this far. Just effing epic.

  3. W.... ....

    Anyone here for Rise Against's long forgotten song album or just this legendary band in general and not NHL?

  4. m.... j....

    Love dedication song Harry.

  5. P.... ....

    I posess Endgame how does it come that it seems i just discovered the song because i really can't remeber it beenig on the album :D

    P.... ....

    It wasn't on the official album, it was an iTunes bonus track, and then got a new home on "Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides & Covers 2000–2013"

  6. m.... j....

    36ZEN PB DESTROYED A KEYOSK

  7. T.... G....

    Thanks NHL 14

  8. m.... j....

    Come have a go then mate
    Give ya first three for free

  9. S.... T....

    I love this song very much holy fuck I just realized I actually do

  10. D.... T....

    This entire song Is one big imagery trip, it's awesooooome!!




    *cough* mid 2019 anyone? *cough*
    Sorry.. I'll stop..

    D.... T....

    Damon The Dragon lasts Sven years
    I said I wanted the biggest one leeeee ever saw. Haha

  11. D.... W....

    Ein so kraftvoller ermutigender Song in dieser gleichschaltenden Phase der Vernichtung unserer Identität.

  12. R.... M....

    💣💥🔥😎

  13. L.... T....

    Reminds me of Raven from the original Teen Titans.


    And a Lovecraftian ritual..,

  14. R.... B....

    Also, I prefer to raise my middle finger to the sky.

  15. R.... B....

    How have I not heard this song before?

  16. m.... j....

    Didn’t see a thing jayzen

    m.... j....

    Fk eric

    m.... j....

    She smash up a kiosk pepperp

  17. m.... j....

    U have sent me crazy. So if your not going to talk to my face then leave me the Fuck alone please

  18. m.... j....

    I have no fucking idea what u want me to do at all

  19. m.... j....

    Lantern with a fountain

  20. m.... j....

    Jayzen. 10k they called private and got him on viber.

  21. J.... R....

    If you can’t defeat them ... join them and show them ...

  22. A.... C....

    2:02 0.0 shit goes HARD!

  23. m.... j....

    Seriously get the wattle and u will see

  24. A.... ....

    two francises I associate this song with, Fallout 4's railroad and green lantern. someone has to animate "Boston after dark" to this.

  25. m.... j....

    T
    Seven t
    Bars I was told
    Really didn’t want to go red like really really really really didn’t

    m.... j....

    Coincidence I hope

  26. m.... j....

    I h8+3 this ong

  27. T.... T....

    Fuck you if you play NHL, it’s probably some American hockey bullshit that makes money from this sexy ass song. In Australia we don’t play sport games and eat all day and get fat or stay inside and get skinny we actually go out and do the sort in real life

  28. m.... j....

    Love it

  29. C.... O....

    Omg! I haven't listened to this song since 2012 since I had android. Why the hell doesn't Google play have this like iTunes included.

  30. L.... B....

    I think it's 'revel in confusion,' rather than 'rebel in confusion.' Since rebel as a verb tends to sound more like 'ree-bell' instead of 'reh-bl' which is as a noun.

  31. P.... ....

    2017 Madafakas

  32. C.... M....

    Lanterns? I prefer Torches

  33. h.... ....

    That blew me away.

  34. I.... n....

    NHL 14 had the best NHL sound track of the 7 in the 2010s

    I.... n....

    Eh, I'd say that's debatable.

    I.... n....

    Well this definitely was a good soundtrack but you gotta think NHL 15 has a pretty sick track too

    I.... n....

    Fuck off

  35. i.... ....

    Merry Christmas, everyone!

  36. T.... ....

    For this entire song all I picture in my head is an ancient tribe, dancing around a roaring bonfire in the dead of night as the shadows dance with them painting eerily beautiful pictures in the surrounding clearing

    T.... ....

    TheMusicjunkie5 been

  37. C.... ....

    No iTunes, I'll just listen here.

  38. T.... ....

    i like to listen to this at night. :))))

    T.... ....

    Tab! Come ko me please

  39. T.... M....

    NHL 14!!!!

    T.... M....

    Tyler Mcknights Gaming Channel Agree, playing it today still

  40. A.... ....

    ITunes sucks, who would ever use it

    A.... ....

    Yeah I agree. Plus, its really easy to make mp3s off of YouTube. So why pay for them on iTunes?

    A.... ....

    no shit Sherlock

    A.... ....

    Well some of us want to support the artists whose work we enjoy

    A.... ....

    meo. Says the guy listening to the YouTube video.

    A.... ....

    Why use ITunes when you can buy the actual CDs?

  41. J.... A....

    NHL 14!

  42. F.... D....

    my bad ur right

  46. D.... N....

    I just love this song, from the begining through refrain til the end. Perfect

  47. T.... M....

    Is it possible to get this track with the rest of the album if you bought it on vinyl? I'm very tempted to buy the disc for this but if this track isn't there I might rethink it :/

    T.... M....

    Why do you have it on disc????

    T.... M....

    @Avenged7X sadly no its digital only however its on pretty much every didgital media site

    T.... M....

    @narrowninja157

  54. R.... ....

    Shed your light like skin
    brighten each life you touch.
    Support with solidarity like a crutch,
    hand-in-hand, we will not give in.
    Together we stand;
    a team linked by compassion,
    we became stronger in gall-
    but not in this fashion divided we fall.

    R.... ....

    Where did you get that?? :D

    R.... ....

    +Seabee156 I myself aspire to sing in a manner stylistic to a number of vocalists, but primarily Tim. Rise Against inspires me to write lyrics. I'm astonished someone paid attention ♤

    R.... ....

    +RehashedRehab no problem! That's what I'm here for! Amazing lyrics by the way! :D

    R.... ....

    Lyrics r good but what is the 22 at the end for?

  55. X.... B....

    Anybody know what this song is about

    X.... B....

    @dylan8550 ...

    X.... B....

    @X-Man 02 just kidding. its about 14th century European farming practices. 

    X.... B....

    It's a song about unity

    X.... B....

    +X-Man 02 its about people who are different from the majority of society and them meeting eachother at night

    X.... B....

    +X-Man 02 Being awake

  56. L.... G....

    I literally just stayed up to 8:30 am just watching peters vids and listening to rise against. I'm very dedicated.

    L.... G....

    Doing the same, but it's jordan peterson :v

  57. B.... ....

    Why thank you Nhl 15

    B.... ....

    @Brodhi Dinsmor It was NHL 14 ;D

    B.... ....

  58. B.... C....

    B.... C....

    Braden Clarke Meh I like I few from NHL 15 but NHL 14s is a bit better

  59. S.... :....

    In fearful day, in raging night
    With strong hearts full, our souls ignite
    When all seems lost, in the war of light.
    Look to the stars, for hope burns bright.

  63. S.... Z....

    This night will fall, like any other.
    Daylight subsides and shadows crawl, out from under...

    S.... Z....

    kinda wanted to start a chain here, but no this is cool too... :P

    Black corners hiding,
    something stirs, oh so restless

    Their music is awesome it's beautiful

  65. P.... G....

    Lanterns was on the Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides and Covers. Like @Dovahslayer said. Honestly one of my favorite albums ever.

  66. T.... B....

    WTF I bought this cd and they dont include what is probablly the best song on the albulm.  I won't stand for it

    T.... B....

    @xXHappYNinjaZXx
    My goodness man....

    T.... B....

    @HAZARDGrunt4500 WHYYY???!!!!

    T.... B....

    @Tom Campbell It's on long forgotten songs right? Which is a mix of all their singles and covers i believe.

    T.... B....

    stop eating animals this and dirt and roses were the only songs good on this album, when i go for that long drive to my parent's house i can put any of there album's on and rarely change a song.

    T.... B....

    Toasty Jackson I will buy that.

  67. K.... S....

    the bass in this is absolutely insane! I'm definitely learning it

  68. c.... m....

    this song has so many illumiti references, i like.

    c.... m....

    So is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    c.... m....

    Don't you mean Illuminati?

    c.... m....

    I noticed that to

  69. H.... ....

    thanks EA for putting this in nhl 14

  70. M.... F....

    or you could buy the long forgotten songs album from anywhere but itunes and get this song and not have to feed the corporate satin we call apple

  71. L.... P....

    NHL 14 :D

    Here in the dark we are safe from the judgment
    And now arm in arm, locked tight so no one gets in

    But Hell is not where we're going
    Hell's where we've been

    s.... ....

    My favorite lyrics of the whole song.

  73. J.... ....

    I love this song, but I'm heavily disappointed that this track isn't on the CD...

    J.... ....

    It's on their "Long Forgotten" album.

  74. e.... ....

    Amazing song, wish it was on the CD for Endgame.

  75. M.... ....

    Lanterns was not on Endgame, am I right? Joe said: "it was a great song, but there was no sense to put it on Endgame, for the overall picture" or sth like that...
    Just sayin :)
    btw GREAT FUCKING SONG!

    M.... ....

    It's on Endgame...

    M.... ....

    It was on Endgame, but as a bonus track; not part of the official tracklist

    M.... ....

    he meant not for it to be released for everyone to hear cause it didn't fit with the rest, but because it was a bonus track it could only be heard by buying certain editions or i think on itunes?

    M.... ....

    It was a bonus track for Endgame, but now you can get it off of the "Long Forgotten" album.

  76. i.... t....
