*****


Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation;
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defences.

Slowly, gently, night unfurls it's 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 your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your 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, secretly possess 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 want to be.............
Only then can you belong to me...........

Floating, falling sweet intoxication.
Touch me, trust 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..............
