Sparks in the Dark

[Verse 1]
Twilight falls, the river sleeps so deep,
Wind is curling, dancing through the reeds.
Dust is rising, swirling in the air,
Night is calling, whispering everywhere.

[Pre;Chorus – build energy]
Fire burns, it sparks across the dark,
Sparks are drifting, fading in the hush.
Feel the night, it pulls us far away,
Hear the echo, hear the owl’s low call.

[Chorus – big, anthemic, backing choir]
Moonlight shines, a pale and ghostly glow,
Winding thread, it wraps the garden low.
Fields and gardens bathed in silver light,
I love the quiet sorrow of the night!

[Verse 2]
Great creation, heaven’s distant spark,
Drawn to Earth by gravity and love.
It lights the fields, it lights the gardens wide,
Silent witness, watching from the sky.

[Bridge – drop half the band, dramatic]
Send a word, a spark of burning flame,
To the ones I still remember by name.
Even far away, their memory stays,
In the fire, in the night, in all my days.

[Chorus – full band, maximum energy]
Moonlight shines, a pale and ghostly glow,
Winding thread, it wraps the garden low.
Fields and gardens bathed in silver light,
I love the quiet sorrow of the night!

[Outro – fade with claps]
Ooh-ooh…
Hey!
The night… the night…
