North

Heavy metal shackles, cogs in a giant machine
Got blue fluorescent pipe dreams, so my body's still asleep
All the tired faces trading glances behind me
The lightning strikes above the sea, so I know it's time to leave

Lacing up my boots, abandoning all safety
Everything comes alive in my line of sight

Northern lights, on my own in the expanding night
Northern lights, beaming bright
Transported north to scrape the skies
Northern lights, oscillate, illuminate
Intensify
Transported north to light up my eyes tonight

Pushing through the city, like a rocket underground
Exploring every twist and turn, finding hidden lights and sounds
I stand between the rives, and my eyes flash blue and green
The arctic water's rushing, the true north strong and free!

Open up my lungs to breathe a new reality
The air's electrified in the starry night

Northern lights, on my own in the expanding night
Northern lights, beaming bright
Transported north to scrape the skies
Northern lights, oscillate, illuminate
Intensify
Transported north to light up my eyes tonight
