Children Of Night

by Jonathan Young

supported by

LUMAcreations Stellar album and especially great song lyrics! They really tickle my inner dark fantasy worldbuilder 😁
Had a hard time picking my favorite, but the chorus in Children of Night just sold me. Goosebumps every time (Witch Hunter is a close second though). Favorite track: Children of Night (feat. Barry Stock & Three Days Grace).

Keiyya Nikki My GF and I listen to this all the time. She's way into the genre and Jonathan Young's performance is just incredible.

Saffryn What's not to love? Jonathan Young delivers incredible vocal performances, hard hitting metal riffs and guitar solos, amazing featured guests absolutely tearing it up, been in love with his music since the first time I heard his Hellfire cover many many moons ago \m/_ _\m/

Johnpaul_Yi Beautiful lyrics, full of sadness and hope, they're very cathartic. Love all the collaborations but especially Caleb's - those harmonies! Wow! Love the blend of metal and folk elements, and the compositions aren't afraid to reveal their softer sides inbetween those amazingly deep throaty vocals. If these are the pre-order tracks, i can only imagine what's being held back for the full release! Amazing job! Favorite track: Wolf Within (feat. Caleb Hyles).

1.	Eye Of The Storm 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Heave ho! For the world is ending, Heave ho! Tell me why you mourn, Heave ho! The accursed blessing, Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm Close my eyes, change my mind, Pretend my ship's not sinking Hear their screams, just a dream Pretend I hear them singing With heart and anchor heavy, Can't carry all the weight I'm trying to believe it's not too late, Heave ho! For the world is ending, Heave ho! Tell me why you mourn, Heave ho! The accursed blessing, Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm Blissful sleep, leave me be for just a little longer feel no pain, wind nor rain and the truth won't make me stronger With heart and anchor heavy, Can't carry all the weight Forever I've been trying to escape Heave ho! For the world is ending, Heave ho! Tell me why you mourn, Heave ho! The accursed blessing, Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm It's the clearest of weather, if you don't look around How many tears altogether till we've built the ocean where we drown? Heave ho! For the world is ending, Heave ho! Tell me why you mourn, Heave ho! The accursed blessing, Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm
2.	God Of Greed (feat Lauren Babic & RichaadEB) 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Kiss the crown, bowing down It is your destiny, get down on your knees Know your place, guard the gates Serving divinity, like ants to their queen You’ll behave just as you’re meant to Find salvation only when you Obey Endless debts you’ll pay But we’ve all got mouths to feed Close your eyes and pray And worship the god of greed Hands that build, now they kill You’re always justified - why would I lie? All this hurt, it’s deserved We cannot just decide who lives and who dies You’ll behave just as you’re meant to Find salvation only when you Obey Endless debts you’ll pay But we’ve all got mouths to feed Close your eyes and pray And worship the god of greed Obey Endless debts you’ll pay But we’ve all got mouths to feed Close your eyes and pray And worship the god of greed
3.	Oceangrave 04:05	lyrics	buy track
The tide is rising There’s an anchor in the deep The ship capsizing In the water we will sleep I’ll go down fighting There is nowhere we can flee Just foam and lighting, Then the bottom of the sea In my oceangrave, my oceangrave It wasn’t for my own mistakes I could die below the frozen waves But I’m still reaching out for hope For hope’s embrace The tide is turning, But I fear that it’s too late A shipwreck burning, And the water doesn’t wait I count the corpses Of my swiftly fallen friends I stay the course, then Hope I don’t end up like them In my oceangrave, my oceangrave It wasn’t for my own mistakes I could die below the frozen waves But I’m still reaching out for hope For hope’s embrace I feel my lungs are gasping out for air Reaching out my hand, but no one’s there My body slowly drowned No god can hear the sound Of my last prayer This isn’t fair Oceangrave, my oceangrave In my oceangrave, my oceangrave It wasn’t for my own mistakes I could die below the frozen waves But I’m still reaching out for hope For hope’s embrace For hope’s embrace
4.	Children of Night (feat. Barry Stock & Three Days Grace) 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Let them hear us sing Lost and broken souls Trusted priest and king All of the lies they told They can hear our cries Leave us in the cold While the children die Watch them count their gold So if heaven is filled with the likes of them We dine in hell instead We are the young undead Born in the grave of humankind Breathe, fill your lungs with dread We have already died For we are the children of night Poison in the air Can't afford the cure Children unprepared To die in father's war Destruction & despair What are you crying for? We have their thoughts & prayers And who could ask for more? So if heaven is filled with the likes of them We dine in hell instead We are the young undead Born in the grave of humankind Breathe, fill your lungs with dread We have already died For we are the children of night We are the young undead Born in the grave of humankind Breathe, fill your lungs with dread We have already died For we are the children of night We are the young undead Born in the grave of humankind Breathe, fill your lungs with dread We have already died For we are the children of night We are the children of night
5.	Wolf Within (feat. Caleb Hyles) 03:27	lyrics	buy track
There is a different darkness Deep down inside my soul Each night I fight my hardest, hoping it won't take control And still I taste the poison The weight of all my wounds My ill, infected voice from breathing in the fumes I can hear my demons calling out Deep in my mind Biding their time beneath my skin And my broken soul's a battleground Holding the line Desperate to find a way to win Can I conquer the wolf within? Can I conquer the wolf within? There is a war inside me My soul against my mind My shadows always find me Every step they're close behind And like a waning candle A river in a drought My flame, with every battle slowly burning out I can hear my demons calling out Deep in my mind Biding their time beneath my skin And my broken soul's a battleground Holding the line Desperate to find a way to win Can I conquer the wolf within? Can I conquer the wolf within? The wolf within Conquer the wolf within
6.	Witch Hunter 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Tell another lie, god is on your side Never ask forgiveness You can do no wrong, bow before the strong Purge the evil sickness Blood upon your blade Of all of who try to disobey Righteous murderer, lawful liar They call him sanctifier Holy witch hunter, I’m chosen for the pyre Before I meet the jury, He’ll find the need to kill me Tell me witch hunter Which one of us is guilty Murderous you fight The children of the night Angels have no mercy The all-forgiving man With nails inside his hands Oh, he wants you to hurt me Blood upon your blade Of heathens too far-gone to save Righteous murderer, lawful liar They call him sanctifier Holy witch hunter, I’m chosen for the pyre Before I meet the jury, He’ll find the need to kill me Tell me witch hunter Which one of us is guilty Tie the noose tightly round my neck Shepherd’s sheep that he must protect Hunt me down once you catch the scent Guilty till proven innocent Righteous murderer, lawful liar They call him sanctifier Holy witch hunter, I’m chosen for the pyre Before I meet the jury, He’ll find the need to kill me Tell me witch hunter Which one of us is guilty
7.	Drinking Blood 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Another day, another victim another funeral you won’t attend I feel the pain that you inflicted I see the faces of the condemned What will you say with my blood on your hands? You scream, “Armageddon”, Hate like a drug Hell or to heaven, You’re not the judge Hands getting dirty Grave that you dug Say I’m unworthy, At least I’m not drinking blood A little war, a little profit Ask forgiveness after it ends So we ignore, since we couldn’t stop it Heed the magic mirror’s commands Make sure to wash all that blood off your hands You scream, “Armageddon”, Hate like a drug Hell or to heaven, You’re not the judge Hands getting dirty Grave that you dug Say I’m unworthy, At least I’m not drinking blood You’re not the judge, No you’re not the judge At least I’m not drinking blood Can’t be afraid of the dark When you’re fast asleep You dress up like a wolf But you were always just a sheep You scream, “Armageddon”, Hate like a drug Hell or to heaven, You’re not the judge Hands getting dirty Grave that you dug Say I’m unworthy, At least I’m not drinking blood At least I’m not drinking blood
8.	Fight The Tide (feat. Colm McGuinness) 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Every darkness has to end in morning light Even if I’m terrified I’ll forever fight the tide You would hold me like an anchor Think it’s time to cut the line Getting stormy, we could sink here Sailing where the sun don’t shine God can’t hear me weak and weary Fight the Tide Every darkness has to end in morning light Even if I’m terrified I’ll forever fight the tide Fight the Tide You condemn me, undeserving Just cause I won’t kiss your feet You would send me to the burning Not as long as my heart beats Still you curse me, you can’t hurt me Fight the Tide Every darkness has to end in morning light Even if I’m terrified I’ll forever fight the tide I can’t promise things will change That your tears are not in vain But if no god answers your cries of pain Will you still find your strength? Will you bend the knee to hatred and greed to save yourself? Or will you stand? Fight the Tide Every darkness has to end in morning light Even if I’m terrified I’ll forever fight the tide I’ll forever fight the tide I’ll forever fight the tide Fight the Tide
9.	Army of the Damned (feat. Matthew K. Heafy) 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Send me back to hell, I belong there Wash my filthy blood from your hands Little lies you tell, "god is unfair" Born to be a sacrificial lamb We are the army of the damned Shackled, bloody hands Trying to find a world that understands Each night they nail us to their cross The irony is lost The beaten and the broken make their stand We are the army of the damned Heavy weighs the cross of our fathers Kill each other at your command Profit from our loss, cannon fodder Born to be a sacrificial lamb We are the army of the damned Shackled, bloody hands Trying to find a world that understands Each night they nail us to their cross The irony is lost The beaten and the broken make their stand We are the army of the damned Take back the life that they denied Nothing to lose, nothing to fear We've already died We are the army of the damned Shackled, bloody hands Trying to find a world that understands We are the army of the damned Shackled, bloody hands Trying to find a world that understands Each night they nail us to their cross The irony is lost The beaten and the broken make their stand We are the army of the damned We are the army of the damned
10.	Why Keep Heaven Waiting 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Why keep heaven waiting? Why not see it now? What's the point in wasting all this time? Why keep heaven waiting? I could be looking down At all these fruitless mountains I would climb Surely god can forgive my impatience, Just a lost little child he won’t burn And if he won’t just come down here and save us, Tell me why I must wait for my turn, When I have run out of reasons to live I’ve given all that I can give Send me an angel Why keep heaven waiting? I need to know the truth Why aren’t we just dancing to our deaths? Sit and watch us fading Never given proof Why not stop this sick & twisted test? Surely god can forgive my impatience, In this cruel little world he designed And if I can forgive his complacence Does his punishment still fit my crime, When I have run out of reasons to live I’ve given all that I can give Am I ungrateful? When I listened to all of the lies Cried all the tears I can cry Send me an angel And what if you’re wrong? What if there’s no one waiting? No one I’m disobeying, No one to hear me praying. Why keep heaven waiting? I have run out of reasons to live I’ve given all that I can give Am I ungrateful? Cause I listened to all of the lies Cried all the tears I can cry Send me an angel Or let me die
11.	Battlecry (feat. Kala) 02:57	lyrics	buy track
You’ve been waiting to sail for the rising tide Seasons passing, they watch how your fire dies If life locks you up then you break down the gate Now, before it’s too late I won’t wait Wait for the sun to rise Wait till the stars align Push through the pain, The time is nigh Let me hear your battlecry Let me hear your battlecry With your blood on the altar they make you pray (They make you pray) Just a pawn in their game they will make you play Born in the fire, we’re used to the flames, Nothing to lose but our chains I won’t wait Wait for the sun to rise Wait till the stars align Push through the pain, The time is nigh Let me hear your battlecry Claiming you care, With thoughts and with prayers But sympathy won’t change a thing When the moment arrives, Open your eyes and sing I won’t wait Wait for the sun to rise Wait till the stars align Push through the pain, The time is nigh Let me hear your battlecry Let me hear your battlecry
12.	Speak to the Dead 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Speak to the dead and listen well Save our souls from burning Speak to the dead or we meet them instead They will not be returning Born below our father’s sails Cross the ocean far And the storm will blow, and timbers fail We’ve lost sight of the stars The king has sent our sorry ship Starving for our pay And as we break our backs The thunder rolls And he’s feasting far away If the captain would lead us asunder If his pride takes this ship to the brink When his lungs fill with water, I wonder How his hindsight will help when we sink? Speak to the dead and listen well Save our souls from burning Speak to the dead or we meet them instead They will not be returning Sailing nowhere, evermore Never will I rest And the treasure I’ve been fighting for Is just an empty chest Send me to my oceangrave Tell my love goodbye I guess I wasn’t worth the gold they saved So I’m condemned to die If the captain would lead us asunder If his pride takes this ship to the brink When his lungs fill with water, I wonder How his hindsight will help when we sink? Speak to the dead and listen well Save our souls from burning Speak to the dead or we meet them instead They will not be returning No they will not be returning No they will not be returning

An eclectic mix of songs, but in a good way. Many songs are jaunty and catchy. To me they invoke a sense of adventure. Perfect for D&D night. trexl6
