Pride and credit in a meaningless, meaningless world
Don't be greedy for the wishes of the mob, spinning round for dirt
Losing grip, but you're not the only one, here I am
I'm alone and you are too, silent night, wonderfully deaf and blind

Noise dies away, this stinking rebel of men
For this is darkness and stillness and peace

Darkness tonight - All your broken visions true
You are a stranger to this world, me too
Darkness today - Because this is our way
And the night it heals your tears and letdowns now

I've seen days so black and will see more
Your pain and disdain, I know it so well
Walk and smile cause you are not a dancer like those who
Dance to sounds of coins and gold, not your world - primitive and rude

Noise dies away, this stinking rebel of men
For this is darkness and stillness and peace

Darkness tonight - All your broken visions true
You are a stranger to this world, me too
Darkness today - Because this is our way
And the night it heals your tears and letdowns now

Burning spirits rising high and I see
Yes I see, yes I see a flower in you
When I stare at you I see the dullness gone by
I am not alone...

Darkness tonight - All your broken visions true
You are a stranger to this world, me too
Darkness today - Because this is our way
And the night it heals your tears and letdowns now
