I am the night, despiser of light I fall over you in the blink of an eye The tunnel of love is flickering dim As the blood in your veins is runnin so thin Shadows of body and soul A command over life that no one else holds I'm stained by the dirt of the grave Pray all you want but I won't go away Twilight descending, I vanquish the sun There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to run A demon of opiate dreams You hear my whisper as loud as a scream I am the night Say your goodbyes This is the hour Darkness devours The pain Just call my name I am the night, deceiver of sight Forever in darkness, death is denied In the tunnel of love my rats make their home We measure your worth by the flesh that you will sow This omen of ill, you know it so well Know it by heart, by touch and by smell I am the final demise Make no mistake when you gaze into my eyes Just call my name
