About the song
The 1977 version of this song was published as the b-side on the Walking On The Moon UK singles (7" and 12"). It's the only studio song which features all four members of The Police - including Henry Padovani.
The song was recorded on 1977-08-10 with John Cale as original producer. The version which appeared on the single is a combination of two different takes (3:17 minutes and 3:05 minutes). Although The Police toyed with this song for the later release Henry's rhythm guitar is still there...
Another version recorded on 1978-01-17 for the Outlandos d'Amour album remains unreleased.

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
