Lyrics
Gazed into the visions of the night Seen the darkness fall I've heard a mountain fall away from sight Heard the thunder call Seen the beast I call my father Creature of the night I feel the creeping darkness close That electric light They say the meek shall inherit the earth How long will you keep it? They sow a harvest but what's it worth? There's no one left to reap it Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night They say the meek shall inherit the earth How long will you keep it? They sow a harvest but what's it worth? There's no one left to reap it Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night I have gazed into the visions of night I have gazed into the visions of night Gazed into the visions of night
