Lyrics
The storm took down the wires The whole street fell to black No streetlamps and no signals No way to turn it back A door swings open slowly A neighbour with a light The man from number seven We never spoke a word Out of the dark we come Out of the dark we come Blackout on Rivet Street Hear us, hear us, hear us roar Blackout on Rivet Street We are strangers no more Bring your lanterns, bring your bread Bring your thunder, bring your voice Blackout on Rivet Street We have light, we have choice We lit a fire in a barrel We shared the soup we had We learned each other's names And the dark didn't seem so bad Out of the dark we come Out of the dark we come Blackout on Rivet Street Hear us, hear us, hear us roar Blackout on Rivet Street We are strangers no more Bring your lanterns, bring your bread Bring your thunder, bring your voice Blackout on Rivet Street We have light, we have choice When the wires come back When the lamps come on We will keep the names We will keep the song Blackout on Rivet Street Hear us, hear us, hear us roar Blackout on Rivet Street We are strangers no more Bring your lanterns, bring your bread Bring your thunder, bring your voice Blackout on Rivet Street We have light, we have choice
