The Day and the Night Songtext
von Candlemass

I woke up with a scream in my throat
Something evil I saw then I choked
Never thought I would dream of Lavey
And never see the light of day

Then the dawn reeked of swine like a slut
I′m in bed as the light got so dim
And the globe of ascent turned to suet
A new night came rolling in
New night came rolling in

When you come I greet you, we are the same
And we make love in the dark
You can hide, I see you, the night's alive, I know
To survive, I need you and you need me

Cruel and corrupt, please make it stop
I should be fast asleep, but I′m still up
Nowhere to run, I know it has begun
I'm not sure I'll see tomorrow′s sun


I ride the mare to hell and back
In this madness I sweat and burn
Every night I′m sleepless, every hour a spell
Every minute a lost life, a year in hell

Cruel and corrupt, please make it stop
I should be fast asleep, but I'm still up
Nowhere to run, I know it has begun
I′m not sure I'll see tomorrow′s sun

Yes, the day is the czar of the night
And the moon is the sun's other side
So the night is the scar of the day
And the shit won′t go away
The shit won't go away

When you come I greet you, we are the same
And we make love in the dark
You can hide, I see you, the night's alive, I know
To survive, I need you and you need me

Cruel and corrupt, please make it stop
I should be fast asleep, but I′m still up
Nowhere to run, I know it has begun
I′m not sure I'll see tomorrow′s sun


Sometimes long and wonderful
Sometimes cool and full of soul
Sometimes crude and grim and foul
The day is warm, the night is cold

Lost in the dark, I'm lost in the dark
Lost in the dark, I′m lost in the dark
Lost in the dark
