LYRICS
Lately I've found
When I start to think aloud
There's a longing in the sound
There is more I could be
In darkness I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be
We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road
On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
As we walk out
Without question without doubt
In the light that we have found
It is finally clear
Our day has come
And we'll stand for who we are
We are ready we are young
We have nothing to fear
We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road
On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
We held the light
To our faces
And realised
We were chasing
Shadows behind
Not worth saving
So burn it bright
Forever illuminating
On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
In darkness I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be

I was there at the Melbourne show. Got to say it was a magic night that will not be forgotten.

[@LeaCollingwoodMagpies]

The smile on Kennys face ...Priceless ❤🤩🤩😘

[@DarrenBoxhall]

Ian is one of the best singers. I absolutely love him. Such a good bloke

[@Larissa-rose1]

Rip uncle Allan

[@mojo_joju]

Ive never seen these guys live, but i would love to see them next time they're in Sydney

[@maggieraguenes6093]

I will always remember your gig in Isa. W all had such a great time watching you ❤❤❤

[@kingsleyt460]

Brush this brings back memory’s of my old school and childhood

[@degsdexter]

Wish i still lived in Melbourne. Getting bladdered in the Mitcham Hotel.

[@JetCassidy]

Went to the concert in Brisbane last night with the Brisbane orchestra and it was phenomenal

[@TheEves]

This is absolutely brilliant! Great stuff, guys! Cheers from Scotland!

[@endoftheline774]

Thankyou, from Australia.

[@atlas9852]

I remember being there for the Perth Orchestra. You guys are absolutely incredible and I hope yall can come back here soon!

[@andrewr2825]

Love this!! And an orchestra - how about an album with the WA Symphony Orchestra fellas?👌

[@LeaCollingwoodMagpies]

That was a brilliant concert ❤ Nice to see musicians coming back again after this covid 🦠 pandemic 🤩🤩

[@renartaazzopardi5985]

❤love❤️

[@alexandrehventura]

Uma das apresentações mais lindas que já vi na vida. Obrigado!

[@Akl268]

Everything about this vid is sooooo lovely 🖤 pure Inspiration, incredible Sound ✨✨✨✨

[@nestahardy8351]

It was an awesome night, fantastic performance

[@SKINNY_HUMAN]

What a beautiful voice 😊 So calming

[@jamiehamilton7568]

I saw them in Perth do the same show with WASO (pre lockdown in January fortunately). While this video is great - it can only go so far to get across the amazing emotion and ambience this combination managed to create. One of the greatest emotion generating performances I’ve ever seen.

[@danielson1989]

WASO are just soo good!!

[@chrisleighton8964]

I still remember seeing these guys as Karnivool in 2004 I think. His voice is the only one I have ever heard better live!

[@tomireunanen8033]

Actually Karnivool is Kenny's other band and they are still around. Totally agree on his voice, one of those rare singers that can deliver live as well.

[@Bbirks]

Good to see some old school lighter action from the crowd instead of a phone light

[@suzanneolsen86]

Sounds and looks awesome guys!

[@infiniteinspiration1628]

#love this so much xxxx

[@theroseheart528]

❤️

[@shiv_ring]

Is Covid not as much of a problem in Australia? :O

[@jacobingham4185]

No, We have been able to control it due to pretty tough border restrictions not allowing anyone but Australians in. They also need to spend 14 days in mandatory hotel qurrantine

[@davidle3329]

Yeah, some of the states had to go into hard lockdown for months last year. It’s all good now. (So far)

[@daisybuchanan8205]

God bless Australia and australians, love from Algeria 🥰🥰🥰

[@efthimios.stefanou]

I need an only Ian and orchestra mix on this

[@Kind20233]

Wondering why this song only has 34 comments..

[@seannybdizzle]

I wanna know what happened to sparky that night?

[@jamiehamilton7568]

He missed the Perth shows also - COVID quarantine restriction related. While it would have great if he could have been part of the show, the show still worked incredibly well - shows what good musicianship they all have.

[@강성주-n8o]

Didn't know Harry Kane can sing. lol

[@paulb1951]

Far better live, seems very subdued on this recording

[@cameronscott3080]

[@btnb]

As someone stuck living in the USA, where incompetent government and hostile, selfish citizens have prolonged our pandemic indefinitely, I am extremely jealous to see live music performance with an audience. I hope we'll get back there again, someday.

[@jacobingham4185]

I was at this show truly incredible to do this when the world is suffering so much. We had a pretty tough 4-month lockdown here in Melbourne. I have friends in the States hopefully for you and them it gets better soon.

[@andrewr2825]

Stay strong 💪

[@Kered-9]

I feel the exact same way, from 🇨🇦

[@marrg9052]

🙄

[@StraightNoChaser86]

Many people in Australia think our government didn't handle the pandemic very well.

[@droosef]

Karnivool when

[@jamiehamilton7568]

Hard to believe it’s the same guy right! I’m a big fan of both.

[@rohanstreader8498]

It was better in Sydney.. 😜

[@passoborgo]

si va bene, tutto bello, tutti bravi....ma quando stacchi da sti uccelli giapponesi per fare il nuovo 'VOOL?????????? Pliz!

[@denni95HM]

Se cerchi in rete c'è un estratto del concerto in streaming del 12 maggio. Se puoi guardalo perché ne vale veramente la pena, hanno fatto tutto Sound Awake più altri pezzi
