When you hear the call from the darker side, you shiver

'Cause your time is up, even though you're too young to die

Slippin' away, down a hole, you're praying for forgiveness

Confessing your sins, but the leveller just smiles

In the dead of night

Justice has found you

In the dead of night

Oh oh

In the dead of night

Truth is all around you

In the dead of night

Well laughter's the answer, so come on to your salvation

Our fire is burning as far as the eye can see

You see yourself hangin' from a tree, victim of self-destruction

But the morning comes and you're laughing at a bad bad dream

In the dead of night...

What you don't know, oh you happy fool:

Last night was just a bad dream

But today it's for real!

In the dead of night...

Your guardian angel has lost his grip

And seconds will turn to lightyears

On this, your very very last trip

In the dead of night...
