[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Only in darkness does the flower take hold
It blooms at night, it blooms at night

[Verse 2]
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 

[Chorus]
Only in darkness does the flower take hold 
It blooms at night, it blooms at night

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Only in darkness does the flower take hold 
It blooms at night, it blooms at night 

[Outro]
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
