Lyrics

[00:01.00] Nighttime sharpens,heightens each sensation.
[00:10.42] Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
[00:19.68] Silently lead the senses abandon their defences.
[00:29.18]
[00:41.18] Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour.
[00:50.47] Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender.
[00:59.47] Turn your face away from the garish light of day.
[01:07.46] Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light,
[01:15.72] And listen to the music of the night.
[01:23.96] Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
[01:30.72] Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
[01:37.61] Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar.
[01:50.78] And you'll live, as you've never lived before.
[02:02.28]
[02:03.02] Softly, deftly, music shall surround you.
[02:10.02] Feel it, hear it, closing in around you.
[02:19.00] Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind.
[02:26.74] In this darkness which you know you cannot fight.
[02:34.50] The darkness of the music of the night.
[02:42.73]
[02:43.51] Let your mind start a journey throught a strange new world.
[02:49.01] Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before.
[02:56.51] Let your soul take you where you long to be.
[03:09.25] Only then can you belong to me.
[03:23.73]
[03:23.97] Floating, falling, sweet intoxication.
[03:31.98] Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation.
[03:40.73] Let the dream begin.
[03:44.47] Let your darker side give in.
[03:48.97] To the power of the music that I write.
[03:57.47] The power of the music of the night.
[04:10.97]
[04:29.46] You alone can make my song take flight.
[04:39.46] Help me make the music of the night.
