Night Will Come

On and on and on, you stumble on

Towards the evening sun

She waits for you with open arms

You stare right through her

On and on, you fall towards her

Cold embrace in shadowed doorway

Offers nothing, still she draws you

Ever to her

On and on and on, you stumble on

Towards the sinking sun

Turn a blind eye, fight or run

Rest assured, the night will come

On and on you grasp and guess

And search for patterns in the mess

Of what has been, and what is left

To yet endure

The jester shrugs and plays his part

The fearful see only dark

The pious with their hope-filled hearts

Sing Hallelujah

On and on and on, you stumble on

Towards the cooling sun

Turn a blind eye, fight or run

Rest assured, the night will come

All the love, and all the gold

All you've built and all you've sold

All the power you may hold

You won't evade her

All the steel, all the bricks

All the math and magic tricks

All the carrots, all the sticks

Will not dissuade her

On and on and on, you stumble on

Towards the fading sun

Turn a blind eye, fight or run

Rest assured, the night will come

Rest assured, the night will come

As for that, the rest is just a test of your endurance

You gotta love life

You gotta love life

You gotta love life
