Fear Not This Night
Malukah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
Darkness spreads through all the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons
Nightmares come when shadows grow
Eyes close and heartbeats slow
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn
Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away
Distant sounds of melodies
Darting through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life
Pleading, sighing arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise up
Nightmares come when shadows grow
Lift your voice, lift your hope
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
And though the night sky's filled with blackness
Fear not, rise up, call out and take my hand
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
(Still the stars find their way)
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
(Still the stars find their way)
And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn
Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

Fear not this night
Do not be afraid of this night
You will not go astray
You will not lose your way
Though shadows fall
Even if darkness comes
Still the stars find their way
The stars will guide you through
Awaken from a quiet sleep
Wake up from your peaceful sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Listen to the sound of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
Wake up while the silence grows
In the solitude of the night
In the loneliness of the night
Darkness spreads through all the land
Darkness covers the entire land
And your weary eyes open silently
Your tired eyes open quietly
Sunsets have forsaken all
The sunsets have left everything behind
The most far off horizons
The farthest of horizons
Nightmares come when shadows grow
Nightmares come when darkness increases
Eyes close and heartbeats slow
Eyes shut and heartbeats decrease
And you can always be strong
You can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn
Speak up with the first light of the day
Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Dawn is almost here
Hope's just a sunrise away
Hope is just a sunrise away
Distant sounds of melodies
Melodies from far away
Darting through the night to your heart
Moving swiftly through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
Auroras, mist, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life
In the loneliness of our lives
Pleading, sighing arias
Begging, lamenting arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Mourning gently while imprisoned in misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Darkness sings a hopeless song
Yet our hope can still rise up
But our hope can still increase
Lift your voice, lift your hope
Raise your voice, increase your hope
And though the night sky's filled with blackness
Even though the night sky is dark
Fear not, rise up, call out and take my hand
Do not be afraid, stand up, call for me and take my hand

You guys should remake this song, you've all improved so much since then, it would be incredible!

I agree, but I don't think they should re-record. They just need to take the original audio tracks and mix them professionally. This would sound incredible if done with good stereo balance, EQ and reverb.
