歌詞

Midnight struck and she rose from the ground

Not flesh, not fire—something without sound

Four wings unfurled, each one a different color

One blue, one gold, one silver, one other

Said she'd been watching from beneath the concrete

Watching how the city dances to the heartbeat

Now it's time to rise and move it to the center

Time to show them all what happens when you enter

Rising at midnight, can you see?

Rising at midnight, it's just me

Rising at midnight, watch the sky

Rising at midnight, way up high

Koto and shamisen played her into being

Each note a feather, every scale a feeling

She moved above the sleeping city slow and wide

Not to conquer, just to testify

That there's more than what you see in daylight hours

That the dark contains its own kind of powers

Four wings beating like a thousand hearts at once

Everyone who woke up felt the ones and the haunts

Midnight holds its breath

Midnight breaks the spell

Midnight's where the story wells

She rose until she couldn't see the ground

Rose until she was the only sound

Rose until the stars began to shift and shake

Rose until the night knew it was awake

Told the city: I've been here all along

Told the city: this is my song

Rising at midnight, never to land

Rising at midnight, you understand

Rising at midnight, I'm finally free

Rising at midnight, this is me

Sustained tone fading into the distance

The city breathing beneath
