Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation 
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination 
Silently the senses abandon their defences 

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour 
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender 
Turn your face away from the garish light of day 
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light 
And listen to the music of the night 

Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams 
Purge all thoughts of the life you knew before 
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar 
And you'll live as you've never lived before 

Softly, deftly, music shall surround you 
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you 
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind 
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight 
The darkness of the music of the night 

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world 
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before 
Let your soul take you where you long to be 
Only then can you belong to me 

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication 
Touch me, [bad word] me, savour each sensation 
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in 
To the power of the music that I write 
The power of the music of the night 

You alone can make my song take flight 
Help me make the music of the night
