Carpe Noctem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day, escape the light
Break the chains of imagination
Come with me and seize the night
Now's the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations
In the shadows of the city
A hero's waiting for the call
And all the devils are waking up
And all the angels start to fall
In the shadows of the city
They're dying for a thrill
They're going out over the edge
They're moving in for the kill
You gotta curse the day
It's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms
And then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness
And you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night
Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night
Seize the night
Seize the night right now
Let your dreams out of their cages
Every passion and desire
Let your visions be outrageous
Set your fantasies on fire
Everything will be permitted
There'll be nothing left to fear
I got the magic in your body
Your inhibitions disappear
You gotta curse the day
It's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms
And then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness
And you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night
Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last
Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day, escape the light
Break the chains of imagination
