When you hear the call from the darker side, you shiver
'Cause your time is up, even though you're too young to die
Slippin' away, down a hole, you're praying for forgiveness
Confessing your sins, but the leveller just smiles

In the dead of night
Justice has found you
In the dead of night
Oh oh
In the dead of night
Truth is all around you
In the dead of night

Well laughter's the answer, so come on to your salvation
Our fire is burning as far as the eye can see
You see yourself hangin' from a tree, victim of self-destruction
But the morning comes and you're laughing at a bad bad dream

In the dead of night...

What you don't know, oh you happy fool:
Last night was just a bad dream
But today it's for real!

In the dead of night...

Your guardian angel has lost his grip
And seconds will turn to lightyears
On this, your very very last trip

In the dead of night...
