Songtext
In the quiet of the night
I bring a rose to you
A flame against the darkness
A glass of crimson too
A prayer beneath my breath
Before I leave the light
Walk beside me when I wander
Dama da Noite
I lay my body down to sleep
A vessel left behind
For one suspended moment
There are no walls around my mind
I rise above the silence
And see myself below
How beautiful this freedom is
When flesh can let me go
But every freedom casts a shade
And hungry shadows know
The fractures that we bury
The wounds we never show
Something waits beneath me
Something pulls me under
Dama da Noite
Guard the roads I walk
Dama da Noite
See what I cannot see
Dama da Noite
I call upon your strength
Dama da Noite
Walk beside me through the dark
If there are eyes upon me
If there are hands I cannot see
Dama da Noite
Watch over me
I know the weight of watching eyes
That never wished me peace
I feel them reaching through the dark
To bring me to my knees
They want a chain around my light
A hand around my will
But something burning deep inside
Refuses to be still
There are doors beneath the darkness
And I know who guards the gate
Dama da Noite
Hear me where I fall
Dama da Noite
Hear me when I call
Keep envy far away from me
And intentions I cannot see
If someone sent this darkness
Reveal their hand to me
Dama da Noite
Guard the roads I walk
Dama da Noite
See what I cannot see
Break what came to bind me
Clean what came to cling to me
Dama da Noite
Watch over me
Where the night has swallowed me
Let your fire know my face
Where another closed my road
Open another way
I ask for no one's suffering
I ask for no revenge
Only truth before my eyes
And your hand upon my path
Laroyê
Dama da Noite
Something breaks without a sound
Something loosens from my skin
What was never mine to carry
Cannot follow where I've been
I feel the darkness leaving
I feel the road beneath my feet
Dama da Noite
You heard me
Laroyê
Laroyê
Laroyê, Dama da Noite
Laroyê
Laroyê
Laroyê
Dama da Noite
Laroyê
Laroyê
I heard you in the deepest dark
Before you spoke my name
I saw the hands behind the veil
I know from where they came
I broke the chains around your light
I cleaned what clung to you
You asked me for the hidden truth
I saw it
I saw you
I know the eyes behind the smile
I know the hand that cast the shade
Envy turned against the light
Of a noble soul you could not break
I know your road
I know your name
I know exactly what you've done
All the darkness you have cast
Will find its way back home
Laroyê
Dama da Noite
