Cat Empire, The - Steal The Light Lyrics
Sing now muse I won’t be scared
She’s wearing flowers not snakes up in her hair tonight
And love we’ve been around before
We washed up on the old shore but it’s new tonight
‘But we are liars to be free’
Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see
The hour falls we fall to dance
Now sirens and the marching bands sing
‘It’s nothing but chance tonight’
The billion ones and many few
And everyone I never new they’re here tonight
‘It’s only light’ we said
Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see
What if I’m lonely?
What if the skies should fall and disappear?
For one night only
Open your eyes and run into the clear
So if I may, what if I say
‘It’s good to have you here!’
She said ‘If you lead I’ll come along
And if you need me there I’ll sing your song tonight
And all that glows and all that shines
And all we leave behind will keep them warm tonight’
‘It’s only light’ I said
But we are liars to be free
Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see
What if I’m lonely?
What if the skies should fall and disappear?
For one night only
Open your eyes and run into the clear
I love you only
Until the skies fall down and disappear
So if I may, what if I say
‘It’s good to have you here!’
Oh oh oh…

Cat Empire, The Steal The Light Comments
From time to time, I come back to this video to remind me that there is good music out there. I first listened to this when I was 16 in 2014 because for some reason we have an Australian channel here in the Philippines and every 3 AM, Rage was on and this was featured there once. I fell in love with this song since.
I play this on the drums
What the fuck was that part where the guy tore the head off a teady bear and started swinging it's entrails all over the crowd? Lol
I just heard this great group, they are amazing, I love them !!!!!!!!!!!! Stheal the light, love that song
They would like us to be free. It'll go a long way... Humanity has to be cherished. Everything knows that 🌻✌
This band is the band every other band wants to be..
Seriously I’m ten years old and I can’t stop listen to this band
Nina van Rongen i loved them as a kid ❤️ jamming with my 5 yr old sis to them rn
I’ve listened to this song a thousand times since the album dropped but tonight was the first time I’ve seen the video... I burst into tears almost immediately, not tears of happiness or sadness but sheer devastation that I couldn’t make it to see you guys live when you played Bristol last Thursday 😭
So wonderful <3

this sounds like a song to be played while politically marching down the street in a herd
None of the band will e
can anyone hear the shekere
That bass, his voice, them lyrics. Perfection
Just pressing repeat. Can't get enought of this!!!
JB and miley are better :D
so that we can afford to demonstrate with them on a regular base!
Yes yes yes, just bought tickets to see them live! The 30th in Brussels woohoooooooo! Can't wait! :-)
they are¡
i was in Melbourne last week and got surprisingly excited when i found the building that there on at the beginning of the video!! BEST BAND EVER!!!
So you liked all of it?
Can't wait to see these legends at Riverboats Music Festival in Echuca in Feb! Perfect setting for this band, dancing away the night on the banks of the Murray!!
last night at the Metro in Sydney we saw cat empire once again and they were as brilliant as ever. We screamed, danced, yelled, swayed and were filled with the energy of an amazing evening with an amazing crowd vibe and amazing group who gave it all and left nothing on the stage.
I saw these guys in concert this summer and they were insanely amazing.
WHY? is catempire not the biggest band in the world this album and two shoes are amazing you don't see concerts like this for any of those pop singers.......
