The Brightest Lights

Mumford & Sons


The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that’s where i’ll be found
For what’s hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight’s hounds

Oh the dawn light sweeps all the shadows clean
Of what has gathered in the night
Hang the villains and the crooks, high on butchers hooks
As they run from the sun in fright
Oh the moonlight shadows are fleeting and scattered
Where memories and prophecies are slain
Only the moment you’re in can delight in sin
So forget your regrets and pains

The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that’s where i’ll be found
For what’s hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight’s hounds

Well the twilight shivers as darkness is risen
Cold ash poured over the sun
For the sun to rise again, he must go through hell
To see what the darkness has done
The depraved are tamed, caught in pleasures chains
Are willingly surrendering
There’s a song to your soul while you bow to gold
This song the angels sing

The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that’s where i’ll be found
For what’s hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight’s hounds

The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that’s where i’ll be found
For what’s hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight’s hounds

The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that’s where i’ll be found
For what’s hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight’s hounds
