Candlemass
The Day and the Night
[Verse 1]
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 goes so dim
And the globe of ascent turned to soot
A new night came rolling in
New night came rolling in
[Pre-Chorus]
When you come, I greet you
We are the same
And we make love in the dark
You can't hide, I see you
The night's alive, I know
To survive, I need you
And you need me
[Chorus]
You're 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
You're 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
[Verse 2]
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 this shit won't go away
This shit won't go away
[Pre-Chorus]
When you come, I greet you
We are the same
And we make love in the dark
You can't hide, I see you
The night's alive, I know
To survive, I need you
And you need me
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
