Candlemass - The Day And The Night Lyrics






I woke up with a scream in my throat
Something evil I saw then I choked
Never thought I would dream of LaVey
And never see the light of day

Then the dawn reeked of swine like a slut
I'm in bed as the light goes so dim
And the globe of ascent turned to sut
A new night came rolling in

When you come I greet you
We are the same
And we make love
In the dark

You can hide, I see you
The night's alive, I know
To survive, I need you
And you need me

You're cruel and corrupt
Please make it stop
I should be fast asleep but I'm still up
Nowhere to run
I know it has begun
I'm not sure I'll see tomorrow's sun

I ride the mare
To hell and back
In this madness
I sweat and burn

Every night I'm sleepless
Every hour a spell
Every minute a lost life
A year in hell

Yes, the day is the czar of the night
And the moon is the sun's other side
So the night is the scar of the day
And the shit won't go away

Sometimes long and wonderful
Sometimes cool and full of soul
Sometimes crude and grim and foul
The day is warm, the night is cold so cold

Lost in the dark
I'm lost in the dark

    So the night is the scar of the day
    And the shit won't go away
    The shit won’t go away
    When you come I greet you
    We are the same
    And we make love
    In the dark
    You can hide, I see you
    The night's alive, I know
    To survive, I need you

    Lost in the dark
    I’m lost in the dark

  9. B.... H....

  10. F.... ....

    Is this a bonus track? Its not on the track list

    F.... ....

    FetusWenus it's from the self-titled album, Mars and Volcanoes is the only bonus track on it

  11. M.... A....

    Excellent....this is a legendary song

  12. P.... C....

    This is absolutely amazing and any fan of Messiah Marcolin singing prowess would be blown away by it~~~ I have live Candlemass and I wish this song was on it, I love it that much. The vibe is so heavy and the crunching guitar breaks with the lower octaves he sings in drive me crazy. He is such a epic doom metal singer. Doom on \m/

    EPIC!!!!!!! MESSIAH MARCOLIN is the BEST CANDLEMASS vocalist🎤🎶🎼🎵

    Hell yes!!

    When you come I greet you, we are the same
    And we make love in the dark
    You can hide, I see you, the night's alive, I know
     To survive, I need you and you need me 

  21. D.... ....

    damn that's a good song, have to admit this cd kind of passed me by at the time. I bought it ofc, being a Candlemass fan and all, but never really gave it a proper listening. Time to make up for it now :)

  22. d.... D....

    Metal level : Messiah

  23. K.... N....

    I first took my fledgeling steps into the world of Candlemass with "Nightfall" in 1987 and have been a fan thru all the changes since that time. be that as it may, Messiah will always be my favorite singer.
    Candlemass is a band that just has to be experienced..their tales of darkness and light, and good and evil, and of mythical kingdoms are as immortal as time itself.
    Not many bands this epic come along that many times, and they are to be enjoyed with all you've got. \m/

  24. T.... ....

    WHAT A SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. T.... ....

    i was listening to the this album [candlemass 2005] ...... one song after the other , one song after the other ......... and then "THIS" song came!!!!! REPEATED IT LIKE 10 TIMES, agree with you the riff is just too addictive and awesome and the lyrics add to this song's richness.

  26. D.... O....

    Pretty much what I think. Those 3 well alright, but not as good as the rest. The album this song was from was very good overall, though I think they were the best in the first 4.

  27. T.... L....

    @Dawnlighter you're so right !!!! Doom all over the world (especially when ur drunk, perfect music...)

  28. D.... ....

    I'm half-drunk, listened so many Candlemass tunes.... call me a nerd or whatever, but I soooo want to play WItcher now for some reason. :P

  29. m.... ....

    Now my favorite song off of the album after I've listened through it enough times. This song is on repeat for me! Lol Great song!

  30. J.... ....

    And how far they've fell from their glory of the 80's
