To be honest, I'm not sure what inspired this song - but I imagine it as a song on a soundtrack.

Night Call

V1

It used to shine so bright
And we never saw the night fall
Such a natural high
We had nothing but we had it all
V2

On a throne of gold
But now just needles
And a soul that's sold
In the hands of evil

Pre-chorus

It used to shine so bright
And we never saw the night fall
But now can you hear the night call?

Chorus

This ain't the path I followed
This ain't the world I used to rule
This ain't my chosen road
And now we listen for the night call
It's getting harder to breathe
Cos every breath is a lifetime
& it's easier to sleep
We're not alive in the night time

V3

We used to have a glow
And always rose to the top
It's the end of our rainbow
And the blood flow has stopped

V4

In a land of royals
But now just danger
I used to own this soil
But now it's owned by strangers

This ain't the path I followed
This ain't the world I used to rule
This ain't my chosen road
And now we listen for the night call
It's getting harder to breathe
Cos every breath is a lifetime
& it's easier to sleep
We're not alive in the night time

Bridge

Darkness, awoke in, me
(Every breath is a lifetime)
Colours, fade and, bleed
(We're not alive in the night time)
We're not alive in the night time

Chorus

This ain't the path I followed
This ain't the world I used to rule
This ain't my chosen road
And now we listen for the night call
It's getting harder to breathe
Cos every breath is a lifetime
& it's easier to sleep
We're not alive in the night time

Outro

It used to shine so bright
And now we wait for the night call

I can't really put together a complete story from this lyric, but it really doesn't matter.  It creates a mood and triggers an emotion.  The story comes as our (listeners) minds automatically "fill in the blanks" and create our own back-story to explain those blanks. 

This sang extremely well on first read.  Very dramatic meter and very adaptable to different singing styles. 

I didn't find a thing I'd change in the lyric.  I'm convinced that with the right vocal treatment, this can be really special.

       Hey man!
           I'm just gonna echo the words of "Hardtwist"  Thats a cop out i know. But i don't really know what to say, except verse 2 is just great. It's probably great all round, if i only knew the score. But at least it's f***ing interesting, and threw my mind this way and that, thanks!
