“First Light” was chosen by Hozier to be the final song of the album as it represents the end of Dante’s odyssey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In the song, he feels the relief of seeing the sky again, like it’s the first time, after going through dark periods of suffering.

[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
One bright mornin' changes all things
Soft and easy as your breathin', you wake
Your eyes open at first, a thousand miles away
But turnin' shoot a silver bullet point-blank range
And I can scarce believe what I'm believin' in
Could this be how every day begins?
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky set to burst, the gold and the rust
The colour erupts, you fillin' my cup
The sun comin' up
[Chorus]
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright mornin' comes)
Like I lived my whole life
Bеfore the first light
(Some bright mornin')
[Verse 2]
Onе bright mornin' goes so easy
Darkness always finds you either way
It creeps into the corners as the moment fades
A voice your body jumps to callin' out your name
But after this, I'm never gonna be the same
And I am never going back again
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky set to burst, the gold and the rust
The colour erupts, you fillin' my cup
The sun comin' up
[Chorus]
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright mornin' comes)
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright mornin' comes)
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright mornin' comes), yeah
Yeah, like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright mornin' comes), yeah, yeah
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light
(Some bright mornin' comes)

If [‘De Selby (Part 1)’] is about the internal space you can reflect upon when you’re left alone in quiet and darkness, ‘First Light’ is the opposite of that. It is seeing the world for the first time. It is this little intimate moment of looking over and sharing a space with somebody else as mornin...
“It seemed like an appropriate ending song—of coming out and seeing the sunlight for the first time. Dante talks a lot about how he misses the sky, how he hasn’t seen the stars for so long. He hasn’t seen clouds, he hasn’t seen the sun. I wanted to put that feeling of being in this very oppressive s...
