AFI - Midnight Sun Lyrics
What went down on the side of the road?
What I saw at the edge of the sea.
Only those elements time cannot wear,
and they follow.
What seeped out through the cracks in time,
What awaits beyond infinity?
Beyond and to all time I stand.
What blew in with the great gale?
What weighed down the falling leaves?
What came forth from the remains?
What has always lived and gone unseen?
What has caused the night to fall?
Who speaks of eternity?
Beyond and to all time I stand.
DE PROFUNDIS CLAMAVI (Baudelaire)
O my sole love, I pray thee pity me
From out this dark gulf where my poor heart lies,
A barren world hemmed in by leaden skies
Where horror flies at night, and blasphemy.
For half the year the sickly sun is seen,
The other half thick night lies on the land,
A country bleaker than the polar strand;
No beasts, no brooks, nor any shred of green.
There never was a horror which surpassed
This icy sun's cold cruelty, and this vast
Night like primeval Chaos; would I were
Like the dumb brutes, who in a secret lair
Lie wrapt in stupid slumber for a space...
Time creeps at so burdensome a pace.

AFI Midnight Sun Comments
this brings me back
Beyond and to all time after this record we sold out
Their secret tracks / EP tracks were some of my favorites. Midnight Sun, Dream of Waking, Who Knew?, A Winter's Tale are four of their best songs from that era imo.
Hmmmm got sent here by a review. Their lyrics are ok, but I hate the singer's voice. His only saving grace is the slight hint of Ian MacKaye's influence I hear in his vocals. But its kinda like ppl. That were influenced by Nirvana.... most of them twisted their influence into something shitty. Aka, mainstream music from '97-2002.
lol AFI was not influenced by Nirvana
SlashMan.EXE LMAO you idiot maybe you should read a comment better first before you laugh! What I actually said was kind of like people that were influenced by Nirvana. But I don't really give a shit what the fuck your dumb ass thinks considering I really don't give a fuck for AFI
Asa Braco /Deayth Faerie daveys voice is amazing!!!!
Consider killing yourself
hahahahaha
Too good to be a secret track. Back in the day you had to listen to 10 minutes of dead air before getting to this track, kids.
Or fast forward the cassette and hope to locate the start of the song.
I remember this on vinyl
You're aware fast forward worked back then, right?
They played this for the first time in 10 years at Rams Head in MD back in Feb. I was there. Absolutely incredible performance.
Sanders Jett-Folk me to.. I I went crazy!!
This makes me think that Jade was a fan of black metal
Hes wearing a bathory patch on his jacket in the Silver and Cold music video.
What awaits beyond infinity?
@thebel89 i don't even feel bad for you to even recognize great afi. Just cuz you grew up with crash love and decemberunderground doesn't mean you halt at exploring one of three greatest punk bands of all time
BEYOND AND TO ALL TIME STAND I STAND
Its about Jesus Christ.
lol I just noticed celibate xD
For half the year the sickly sun is seen,
The other half thick night lies on the land,
A country bleaker than the polar strand;
No beasts, no brooks, nor any shred of green.
Its good, but different. I love Cold Hands, Medicate, Torch Song and End Transmission
okay now i feel better is kind of epic...so are the tracks on the bonus disc. considering they're almost 40 years old i'm pretty happy with it. sorry you're stuck in high school :(
i'm sure you can get a used copy on amazon for a dollar
crash love isnt good* its kinda like they dragged their reputation in the mud.lucky they actually released epic music once apon a time
Best album!!
Fuck the scrubs who think Crash Love is good.
I love AFI....up til Sing the Sorrow. After that, it was a slippery slope down into SHIT.
AFI changed and started conforming to the "Mainstream" sounds...that's crap dude. Old Stuff is superior.
Davey met up with maroon 5 and paid for material and it killed his band
December underground I enjoyed more than sorrow
I have a digital version and a vinyl. What I lost is my turntable...
THANK YOU!!!!! I REALLY needed to see someone else post a comment like this... I thought I was alone in this. I agree 125%, all of their music is beautiful, just in different ways.
Oh my sole love I pray thee pity me
I have a tattoo with lyrics from this song! And The Leaving Song Pt 2, but I LOVE how the ones from this one turned out.
Seriously, say what you want about AFI in ANY of their phases, how many bands have written a song about a Charles Baudelaire poem? This is a one of a kind work!
@everywhereimnot Hate to break it to ya, but many people have had that line tattooed on them, many years before any of these 16 yr old emo kids even heard of AFI
@yelserrs I haven't gotten into Crash Love, but that doesn't mean I won't.
Wait can someone just give me a full detailed and correct info.did jade right the songs on black sails in the sunset?
Love afi....bought this cd today :).unpluging the phone and.listing the shit out if it
The good ole' days.
@CaitlinRixOfficial also look up weight of words its an unnofical compilation of all there rarites and bsides but i have most all of em on true disc form except my michelle guns and roses cover and i wish theyd release a damn album with their just like heavn cover omg amazing
@CaitlinRixOfficial now you just need black sail shut your mouth open your eyes very proud of ya and answer that and stay fashionable along with the eps between albums and the nitro compilation album that is a mix of stuff from the early days plus a winters tale is on it =] all hallows ep is a must for toal immortal and halloween and the afi ep is a must for 3/1/2 ebay you can get em all lol but finding them in the store is like a omg moment lol
@RANDOMCATS100 no its not a waste of money i paid 100$ for a real copy of days of the phoenix ep that only has 3 songs but theres only 500 copies so lol also bought both the red and grey sing the sorrow us albums and the uk sing the sorrow with synesthesia also the special edition sing the sorrow with book and clandestine dvd so yeah i have 4 sing the sorrows
@RANDOMCATS100
I know that. But when you're a fan and a 15 years old little guy, the brain doesn't works jejej
When i was a big fan of this band, i bought this cd two times!!
I am a part of the Fall Children. My birthday is September 30!
you people are ridiculous.. just listen to this bad ass jam and shut up
@haydenarias The only song Jade wrote was Malleus Maleficarum. Check out his interview on the "I heard a voice" DVD.
@haydenarias Wrong. Jade writes the songs, but not the lyrics.
@LongviewGD182
Actually, Jade wrote most of the lyrics for BSITS as well as most of their material since joining.
@MechaJiggabooJones It better not have sparkling faeries who are 100 and stalk teenagers in it....
@BleedingHearts37 yeah Davey Havoc is a master-lyricist
And i love how every song has atleast 1 word that you have to look up in a dictionary :D
@xXxXevanescenceXxXx That's why the internet was created
@bluecutecheeks yeesh i forgot god he's 35 now? O.O
seems weird
You know, the chorus almost reminds me of the chorus to Divide by Assemblage 23
crash love sounds just like very generic alternative rock. its not as dark as sing the sorrow, decemberunderground, or this. i miss the synthesizers too. crash love has some good songs, but as a whole it seems to have filler tracks, which should not be the case.
love the chorus..
beyond and to all time i stand
CL and DU are ass... STS is cool, anything before STS is the best
i love afi entirely....fuck the ass holes who dont like cl. its all afi and its all good
well that blows im sorry
