Lord of the Last Day Lyrics

I love the night
So many shadows
Unholy light
Putting out the spark
Leave 'em in the dark - forever
Ooh

I can wait for you
Your end is my life
All lies are true
Secrets of the heart
And you can take them all - To heaven

I don't feel pain or sorrow
The child's a man tomorrow
Crossing the line - Then he's mine

Don't care which god you follow
Whose promises you swallow
Time and again
We must meet at the end
Aaah

It's all right
When the music is over
Come on and dance
For the lord of the last day

I love the night
So many shadows
Unholy light
Secrets of the heart
Leave 'em in the dark
Forever

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Lord of the Last Day lyrics by Dio

"I love the night So many shadows Unholy light Putting out the spark Leave 'em in the dark - forever Ooh"

Sounds like a Satan figure; reminds me of "Lord of this World" by Black Sabbath. This entity wants to put out the spark of human lives forever.

"I can wait for you Your end is my life All lies are true Secrets of the heart And you can take them all - To heaven

I don't feel pain or sorrow The child's a man tomorrow Crossing the line - Then he's mine"

Patient like a spider, waiting for the child to become a man and cross the line of temptation into sin. "Then he's mine."

"Don't care which god you follow Whose promises you swallow Time and again We must meet at the end Aaah"

Whatever your belief system, if you choose to live for evil, you'll meet whoever this is in the end. Misery loves company, as they say.

Who is the "Lord of the last day?"

"He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day." John 12:48
