Brighter Than Gold
The Cat Empire Lyrics

Four steps in the morning,
I have a routine in the morning, I take four steps to start my day.

Two steps in the day,
I have a routine in the middle of the day, I take two steps to continue my day.

Three steps in the evening,
I have a routine in the evening, I take three steps to end my day.

The darkness is a?blazing all the angels? seats
The night is so dark, it feels like it's burning the seats where angels sit.

And soldiers step to liberate
Soldiers are marching to set something or someone free.

Ola e, ola e
A chant or exclamation, possibly an expression of excitement or enthusiasm.

I run out like a cheetah
I move quickly and smoothly, like a cheetah running through the savanna.

Monkey's in the blood
I have a natural instinct and energy, like a monkey has in its blood.

What a piece of work this man
This man is an incredible creation, a masterpiece of humanity.

Who screams the name of love
This man is shouting the name of love from the rooftops, expressing his passion.

But all his brothers, cousins, sisters, and others hear his fuss
Everyone around him hears his commotion and is aware of his expressions of love.

All night awake,
I'm awake all night long.

In the moonlight I'm with you
I'm with someone special in the light of the moon.

Brighter than gold
This person is more precious and valuable to me than anything else, including gold.

Born on the horizon,
Something or someone new is appearing on the horizon, coming into view.

Beaming through the sky
This thing or person is shining brightly in the sky.

Someone's seen what none can dream,
Someone has witnessed something extraordinary, beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

But light calls it a lie
Despite the truth of this extraordinary event, it's being labeled as false or unbelievable.

And all the sinners, saints and winners,
Everyone, regardless of their moral standing or success, is waiting for something to happen.

Just wait to walk on by
They are all waiting for the opportunity to pass by and for their lives to move forward.

The Brando's in the forest,
Something unusual is happening in the forest, like Marlon Brando appearing out of nowhere.

And Nancy's in the flood
Something unexpected is happening in the flood, like Nancy Reagan showing up there.

The ? makes a pirouette
A mysterious creature or force is spinning gracefully.

The gods cry from above
The deities are weeping from the heavens, potentially signaling some kind of disaster.

And all the rain keeps falling,
It's raining continuously, without end.

I'm bare-feet in the mud
I'm standing in the mud with no shoes on.

Come northern lights of Norway
The beautiful aurora borealis from Norway is arriving.

Come sunrise to the East
The morning sun is rising in the East and bringing a new day and potential change.

Come wicked witches of the west,
The mischievous witches from the West are coming.

West-south time with a beat
Time is moving forward, with a rhythm like a musical beat.

And all the lions, riots and preachers come down into the street
Everyone, including those with power and those in opposition, are coming together in the street.
