The Night Does Not Belong To God
Sleep Token Lyrics

And you remember everything
Only 'til the sun recedes once again

The whites of your eyes
Turn black in the lowlight
In turning divine
We tangle endlessly
Like lovers entwined
I know for the last time
You will not be mine
So give me the night, the night, the night

The night comes down like heaven
The night comes down like heaven
The night comes down like heaven
The night comes down like heaven

The night comes down like heaven (The whites of your eyes)
The night comes down like heaven (Turn black in the lowlight)

The night comes down like heaven (In turning divine)
The night comes down like heaven (We tangle endlessly)

When you live by daylight
If you rely on the day and sunlight, and not the night

With angels at your side
You have good and pure spirits accompanying you

In order now bestowed by
The arrangement or system currently given by

The light of the sunrise
The illumination seen as the sun ascends in the morning

And you remember everything
You can recollect all of your experiences

Only 'til the sun recedes once again
Only as long as the sun hasn't disappeared again

And the night comes down like heaven
The night is perceived as a beautiful, divine event

The whites of your eyes
Your eyes' color depicting innocence and purity

Turn black in the lowlight
Your eyes become dark under low brightness

In turning divine
Transforming into a divine entity

We tangle endlessly
Becoming entwined with someone repeatedly and never-endingly

Like lovers entwined
In a way that represents the physical act of passion or love

I know for the last time
Recognizing that the end is near or final

You will not be mine
Acknowledging that the person referred to will not be in a romantic relationship

So give me the night, the night, the night
Asking for the night, its solace, its healing, and its darkness
