Silver... Violet... Gold... Little lights I never noticed before [Instrumental rises] [Final Chorus — soaring, dark but euphoric] THE DARK HAS COLORS TOO MIDNIGHT BLUE AND NEON RED GOLDEN WINDOWS DISTANT HEADLIGHTS CONSTELLATIONS OVERHEAD THE DARK HAS COLORS TOO AND NOW I FINALLY SEE THE NIGHT WAS NEVER EMPTY IT WAS WAITING THERE FOR ME SO LET THE DAYLIGHT FADE I'M NOT AFRAID TO LOSE THE VIEW I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL WAITING IN THE DARKNESS TOO [Huge Dark Dreamy Instrumental — soaring synth melody, rapid shimmering arpeggios, emotional strings] [Final Refrain — soft] Give your eyes a moment... You'll see it too The dark has colors too [Long shimmering instrumental outro]
