Dark Night Of My Soul

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!
