About First Light

“First Light” was chosen by Hozier to be the final song of the album as it represents the end of Dante’s odyssey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In the song, he feels the relief of seeing the sky again, like it’s the first time, after going through dark periods of suffering. In an interview for the Independent, Hozier called this a song of “reconciliation”, like he’s discovered, after a long journey down, that even hell has a way out. .

First Light Lyrics

[00:29.16] One bright morning changes all things
[00:42.37] Soft and easy as your breathing, you wake
[00:58.07] Your eyes open, at first a thousand miles away
[01:04.53] But turning, shoot a silver bullet point-blank range
[01:11.01] And I can scarce believe what I'm believing in
[01:17.63] Could this be how every day begins?
[01:22.50] The sky set to burst
[01:25.82] The gold and the rust
[01:28.93] The colour erupts
[01:35.44] You filling my cup
[01:38.64] The sun coming up
[01:44.91] Like I lived my whole life
[01:48.88]
[01:51.76] Before the first light
[01:53.48] (Some bright morning comes)
[02:01.16] Like I lived my whole life
[02:04.69] Before the first light
[02:06.37] (Some bright morning)
[02:12.95] One bright morning goes so easy
[02:26.08] Darkness always finds you either way
[02:41.65] It creeps into the corners as the moment fades
[02:48.42] A voice your body jumps to calling out your name
[02:54.92] But after this I'm never gonna be the same
[03:01.48] And I am never going back again
[03:06.27] The sky set to burst
[03:09.64] The gold and the rust
[03:12.76] The colour erupts
[03:19.25] You filling my cup
[03:22.44] The sun coming up
[03:28.70] Like I lived my whole life
[03:32.76]
[03:35.46] Before the first light
[03:37.21] (Some bright morning comes)
[03:45.07] Like I lived my whole life
[03:48.43] Before the first light
[03:50.88] (Some bright morning comes)
[03:57.91] Like I lived my whole life
[04:01.44] Before the first light
[04:04.92] (Some bright morning comes) Yeah, yeah
[04:10.91] Like I lived my whole life
[04:14.46] Before the first light
[04:16.86] (Some bright morning comes) Hey, hey
[04:23.95] Like I lived my whole life
[04:27.31] Before the first light
[04:29.67] (Some bright morning comes)
[04:50.77]
