The city shuts its windows
The honest people sleep
But underneath the silence
Something starts to breathe
The saints take off their halos
The liars lose their names
Everybody looks so different
Dancing naked in the flames
Don't blame the dark
Don't blame the night
Don't blame the devil for what we hide
Look in the mirror
Look in your eyes
Tell me the monster isn't inside
Welcome to the night
Where everybody shows their face
Welcome to the night
Where every secret leaves a trace
Let the shadows dance
Let the guilty come alive
There are no demons on this mountain
Only you and I
The kings are counting money
While the hungry count the dead
Someone signs another order
Then goes peacefully to bed
We build another border
We teach another child to hate
Then kneel beneath our holy symbols
And ask forgiveness for our fate
Don't blame the dark
Don't blame the night
Don't blame the devil for what we hide
Look at your hands
Look what we've done
Tell me we're innocent, anyone
Welcome to the night
Where everybody shows their face
Welcome to the night
Where every secret leaves a trace
Let the shadows dance
Let the guilty come alive
There are no demons on this mountain
Only you and I
We invented hell
Then gave it someone else's name
We invented war
Then asked the heavens who to blame
We buried all our mistakes
And built our houses on the ground
But nothing stays buried forever
Can you hear that sound?
Something's coming
Not from heaven
Not from hell
Not from underneath the ground
It's coming from us
WELCOME TO THE NIGHT
Now everybody knows our name
WELCOME TO THE NIGHT
We lit the match
We made the flame
Let the shadows dance
Let the guilty testify
There were never demons on this mountain
ONLY YOU AND I
The night is almost over
But morning won't save us
Judgment is coming

KNOX CLASSICS: Sacred Noise
A classical arrangement album by KNOX, an AI virtual rock band.
Bach. Vivaldi. Wagner. Dvorak. Mussorgsky. Verdi. Massenet. Beethoven. Eight themes left behind by eight composers across three centuries, translated into the language of a five-piece rock band. Every source work is in the public domain. Every lyric is original.
It started with a single note the pipe organ breaking the silence. When Bach's toccata was moved onto a distorted guitar, it became clear this could work. What followed was the summer storm, the ride across the battlefield, the demons on bald mountain, the wrath of judgment day, the stillness of meditation. Scenes the originals already carried, rebuilt over drums and overdrive.
This is not classical music quoted. Only the themes were taken; everything else was filled back in with the sound of a band. Counterpoint became riffs. Orchestral mass became layers of guitar. A chorus of hundreds became a single voice. Something was lost. Something else was gained.
The album closes with Beethoven's Ninth the ode to joy. The silence broken in the first track arrives here, eight songs later. After the storm. After the road. After the judgment.
