Lyrics --
BLACK NIGHT
Hear the measured ticking of the clock
Set against the howling wind and rain
Hear the chaos of the night
As it beats against the window pane

I am within the darkness
Cast down before the wicked storm
And beyond the tempest's mighty fury
I longer sense a coming dawn

It's a black night, baby
And the hounds are at my heels
The Devil's on the doorstep
Unwilling to make another deal

He's calling
I'm falling
He's calling -- he's dragging me down

It's a black night, baby
No quarter and no reprieve
No last minute pardons
The time has come for me to take my leave

He's calling
I'm falling
He's calling -- he's dragging me down

I feed my charges eternal hunger
They drink the cup of unquenchable desire
I clothe them in stately robes of pestilence
Bathe them in lakes of purifying fire

I enlighten them through psychic visitations
With Azazel's whip I caress their flesh
By tooth and nail, by hook and blade, we cleanse them
And take from them the blessed gifts of death

I dig that a bunch, I get ( likely only in my own mind) get a Captain Beyond vibe. Great acoustic intro, and then it just takes off... Really enjoyed this!

I love when she screams FIAWWWW (fire)

Hehe, thanks, Kev!

I really like the lyrics on this song because it seems to be about one thing, but can also be about something else entirely! ;)
