Night-Blooming Cereus

In the far desert
 On a distant blasted plain
 A forgotten corner
 ♪
 Amid the death of all things
 Not under the blinding sun
 Or the cultivator's toil
 Only in darkness
 Does the flower take hold
 It blooms at night
 It blooms at night
 ♪
 In the old city
 In abandoned shells
 On a desolated edge
 Amid the death of all things
 Not under the scornful eye
 Or the corporation's hand
 Only in darkness
 Does the flower take hold
 It blooms at night
 It blooms at night
 ♪
 In my own head
 Near the hole where hope drains out
 And fear is branded deep
 Amid the death of all things
 Not under law or the thoughts I had before
 
 Only in darkness
 Does the flower take hold
 It blooms at night
 It blooms at night
 ♪
 In a valley filled with flowers unseen in the dark
 In a valley filled with flowers unseen in the dark
 It blooms at night
 It blooms at night
 It blooms at night
