In the dead of the night
What is it that you see?
In the dead of the night

In the dead of the night
Are you strong enough to sleep?
In the dead of the night

In the dead of the night
Caught out at a road block
In a ghost town
By a broken rock
Each faces the devil
Each way you turn
The streets crawl
And buildings burn
The sermon? is dry
Shoulder the plough
Bring it on home
It don't matter how
These hell hounds just a trick of the light
In the dead of the night

In the dead of the night
What are you going to do?
In the dead of the night

In the dead of the night
What's this world coming to?
In the dead of the night

As you twist and turn
Under a ball and chain
That came down once and will come again
You're at the mercy of the hour
That's sucking you dry
Better pray to the Lord
For a breath of life
And when the wind blows in
Burn the candle twice
Reach for the shield
And sharpen a knife
Cut fire and ice
With a kiss of life
In the dead of the night

In the dead of the night
Does it really have to be?
In the dead of the night

In the dead of the night
Who do you choose to believe?
In the dead of the night

Out on this wasteland
Don't ? got no angels here
For to bless this house
Or break the seven seals
Or hear the call of the West
Or greet the fall of the East
Or these rustling stones
On this bed of disease
Ain't no law ever been made
That's going to settle the blame
Go ahead and steal what is yours
Everybody's doing the same
On this runaway train
Riding out of life
In the dead of the nig
