Night Fell

Somewhere between the sand and the waves
Somewhere between the rock and the flames
Somewhere between the clouds and the rain
Something will rise to measure us all
Sometime between now and nightfall

Somewhere between awake and a dream
Somewhere between a cry and a scream
Somewhere between sunlight and moonbeam
Something will raise the alarm, the call
Sometime between now and nightfall

Somewhere between above and below
Somewhere between a yes and a no
Somewhere between the storm and the bow
Something will sound to tumble the wall
Sometime between now and nightfall

Somewhere between the air and the crust
Somewhere between the passion and lust
Somewhere between the ash and the dust
Something will rise to measure us all
Sometime between now and nightfall
