Black is the night
We prefer the quiet and stillness of night
Rather than the noise and chaos of day
We become the night
The night offers us comfort
In an uncomfortable world
We are the night
We are musicians, poets and artists
With these weapons we bttle the day
The moon and stars back us
Just as the sun backs our foe
The night shields us
With its black cloak
From our waking fears of day
It gives us courage
To face those fears
It teaches us to be fair
And understanding
The night is our teacher
Protector and friend
The night is within us
We became the night
We were the night
We are the night
We will always be
The night
