Night's wings sweep down and hide their meeting place, all totally hush-hush
Now they rush there to fight and rouse some sweet pain and fire up
All thought's gone in the hum, you feel that life is in your hands
They say it's something only men can understand

'Cause here the only Lord is pure and brutal force
And the word mercy has a totally different sense and flavor
The hidden other self raises its head, just to be set free
Adrenaline rush is their perfect drug and utter release

The night has come so you rush to fight
Forgetting the misery that you leave behind
The hum in your ears now fills your head
They say it's something only men can understand

You taste blood in your mouth and all forgiveness is gone, like that
Block a blow once and you'll kiss mother earth when you're knocked down flat
And what is there to fear, if it's all pain now
Here God is gone and nobody will cry

Guardian angels stand around deaf and blind
A mute wall of sorrow
Stony wings over their eyes
Guardian angels stand around petrified
Sorry hearts all hushed
Stone tears running down

The night has come so you rush to fight
Forgetting the misery that you leave behind
The hum in your ears now fills your head
You say it's something only men can understand
