Lanterns Lyrics by Blind Channel

Violent Pop

2020

[Chorus]
When the dark takes over
When the stars refuse to shine
Light a lantern for another
You know the night is darkest
'Fore the dawn
So turn it on

[Verse 1]
Five years is a long time
Since "Revolutions" I've been on a grind
But weaker liver
Tour life turns a good man into a sinner
Flashmob at Music & Media
Lost In Music, every year we'd rocked like a meteor
Debuted in Sweden on an Adrenaline Cruise
Then there was Wacken, look mom
It's your son in the news

You do it your way
Going to Norway
Carrying our gear in a London subway
And all the shows for the pros in Brighton
Only few people in the audience, but I like them
A pathfinder feels like a 'Rarri
When you're doing show with Enter Shikari
And when Royal Republic showed us nothing can stop is
As long as we keep it real with violent pop shit


[Chorus]
When the dark takes over
When the stars refuse to shine
Light a lantern for another
You know the night is darkest
'Fore the dawn
So turn it on

[Verse 2]
You see
I had a plan
To have a band
And the tour the world a caravan
Now I can
First the Baltics with Simple Plan
The north with Amaranthe
But then we were known only as 'that good supporting act'

Switching agencies
Fighting over royalties
Not a day goes by that I don't think
"I'mma quit this shit"
But I get a grip
And when I do
We're hanging out with Hollywood Undead
On our first arena gig
Shashed Europe into pieces
Sippin' sex on the beach back in Sziget
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis can't hold us
And Ed Sheeran don't fuck with my pals
All the interviews and acoustic shows
In the music shops that don't exist no more
Got the boys and the squad, that's how it goes
See you at the show
It's #bloodbros before #bloodhoes, damn

Before you shine you glow
There's something inside your soul
And you gotta turn it on
Walking into the unknown
There's so many miles to go
These five years have been more than fun
But the violent pop revolution has just begun

[Chorus]
When the dark takes over
When the stars refuse to shine
Light a lantern for another
You know the night is darkest
'Fore the dawn
So turn it on
