Dark skies they open up your eyes
Dark skies they open up your eyes
Wide eyes are full of wonder
Pools of light when light was younger
That we can only see in the night
Dark skies they open up your eyes
Dark skies they open up your eyes
There's just two laws that share the power
There's falling in and there's blazing outward
That make every shape in the sky
Dark skies they open up your eyes
Dark skies they open up your eyes
To chart the sky with fine precision
Is to talk with god about old time religion
Hmmm, hmmm -- unblinded by all the light
Keep climbing to the highest peaks
Deep diving to the deepest deeps
Knowing that there's more to know
Learning that there's more to learn
Seeing that there's . . .
Seeing that there's . . .
Seeing that there's ever more to see
Dark skies they open up your eyes
Dark skies they open up your eyes
Count the stars and weigh the dust
To guess the curve of heaven's crust
Our fate is held in the weight of the sky
That's right, it's all in the dark of the night"
