In the dark unholy places of the night, my friend There's a place that you can come to, call it the world's end Where everything you do to make the light come through Just ends in a pain in your head And everything you hold sacred lies there cold and dead See the dragons on the wall, they're growing ten feet tall And they're coming to get you like the footsteps in the hall And your great plans for the future Oh they just won't last See it's coming to get you again, it's that ghost from the past! Oh lord! It's the dark night of my soul! I just can't see the light Oh lord! It's the dark night of my soul! I'm looking down into endless night Oh lord! Won't you lead me to the light You hang out in street cafes during the long dark days You prowl the back streets of the town in a dreamy haze You watch the night growing misty like an old, sad song But there's nothing you can do cause you know that it's gonna go wrong! Oh lord! It's the dark night of my soul! I just can't see the light Oh lord! It's the dark night of my soul! I'm looking down into endless night Oh lord! Won't you lead me to the light Where is my peace of mind? I can't control the depths of my soul Try to find a helpful sign To let me know which way to go Oh lord! It's the dark night of my soul! I just can't see the light Oh lord! It's the dark night of my soul! I just can't see the light Oh lord! It's the dark night of my soul!
