Lyrics

In the scrub, the eerie silence spreads Not a sign, but the bogan's lingering dread Legends lost, to the Dreamtime they’re wed Gone too far, now they're just the stories said Oh the night! Wandering souls, in the land of the dead Outback calls, raw and wild, you know As they tread where the untamed spirits flow Through the brush, where the gum trees tower high One by one, beneath the Southern Cross, they lie Oh the night! Outback’s sons, the reckless, the lost! Whispers haunt, the ghost gums speak low Tales of the wayward, where did the bogans go? 'Cross the red dust, their echoes start to fade Into the wild, where mistakes were made Oh the night! Hidden trails, where danger does not rest Dusk descends, the heat begins to wane In their hearts, the lure of darkness stains With each step, the air grows thick with fear Calling out, but there's nobody to hear Oh the night! Fools rush in, where shadows lead astray Starry vaults (starry vaults) Guide the lost, to their final scene Where secrets hold and myths are born In the hush, the stark outback is torn By the cries Mournful cries, in the land of thorns Through the night, each bogan meets his end Silent bush becomes their final friend Rustling leaves sing a warning late Flawed by pride, they embrace their fate Oh the night! In this place, where even devils fear to tread
