At midnight's call
I lay in thrall
And gazed upon the sky
No star that crossed my eye
Would smile at all
At midnight's fall
This is the night
When I awoke
The beat of hearts
That broke, that spoke
The pulse of pain
Was stirred again
You hold the reign
Of this dark night
At midnight's end
My thoughts would send
Out past the shadows deep
No light of thought could keep
My mind a friend
At midnight's bend
This is the night
When I awoke
The beat of hearts
That broke, that spoke
The pulse of pain
Was stirred again
You hold the reign
Of this dark night
At midnight's breath
I marked the death
Of silence in my chest
One pulse of pain, compressed
A living death
At midnight's depth
This is the night
When I awoke
The beat of hearts
That broke, that spoke
The pulse of pain
Was stirred again
You hold the reign
Of this dark night
At midnight's light
I faced the plight
Of humankind's despair
I could not strip it bare
Or change its might
At midnight's fight
This is the night
When I awoke
The beat of hearts
That broke, that spoke
The pulse of pain
Was stirred again
You hold the reign
Of this dark night
At midnight's gate
I placed my fate
Into your hands above
Ruler of death and love
You hold the weight
Of midnight's fate
This is the night
When I awoke
The beat of hearts
That broke, that spoke
The pulse of pain
Was stirred again
You hold the reign
Of this dark night
