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 sut

A new night came rolling in

When you come, I greet you

We are the same

And we make love

In the dark

You can hide, I see you

The night's alive, I know

To survive, I need you

And you need me

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

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

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 the shit won't go away

Sometimes long and wonderful

Sometimes cool and full of soul

Sometimes crude and grim and foul

The day is warm, the night is cold, so cold

Lost in the dark

I'm lost in the dark
