Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day, escape the light
Break the chain of imagination

Come with me and seize the night
Now's the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations

In the shadows of the city
A hero's waiting for the call
And all the angels are waking up
And all the devils start to fall

In the shadows of the city
They're dying for a thrill
They're going out over the edge
They're moving in for the kill

You gotta curse the day: it's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms and then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness and you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night

Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine

Dies irae, Kyrie! Sanctus, Sanctus exultate

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last

Let your dreams out of their cages
Every passion and desire
Let your visions be outrageous
Set your fantasies on fire

Everything will be permitted
There'll be nothing left to fear
I got the magic in your body
Your inhibitions disappear

You gotta curse the day: it's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms and then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness and you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night

Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night, memories collide to change the past
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last

Carpe Noctem
Carpe Noctem

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last

Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine
Dies irae, Kyrie! Sanctus, Sanctus exultate

Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day, escape the light
Break the chain of imagination

Come with me and seize the night
Now's the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
