Black Is the Night Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the land of the white bear
Coldest place under the sun
The ocean is freezing
Days of the darkness begun
Winter is coming
Daylight is slipping away
It's the end of the sunrise
Shadows will cover the day
[Chorus]
Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty-four hours a day
Black
Black is the night
Black
Black is the night
[Verse 2]
On top of the ice cap
Temperatures drop well below
The blizzards are howling
Driving the ice and the snow
A fight for survival
Only the strong will remain
Shelter for warmth
Till the sunlight will come back again
[Chorus]
The sun is gone, there's only night
Twenty-four hours a day
Black
Black is the night
[Verse 3]
Frozen white kingdoms
Stretching out into the nights
The heavens are dancing
Cripturing northern lights
A blanket of stars
Spreading out over the sky
On the top of the world
Sometimes you live or you die
[Chorus]
Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty-four hours a day
Black
Black is the night
Black
Black is the night
Black is the night
In the land of the white bear
Coldest place under the sun
The ocean is freezing
Days of the darkness begun
Winter is coming
Daylight is slipping away
It's the end of the sunrise
Shadows will cover the day
Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty-four hours a day
Black
Black is the night
Black
Black is the night
On top of the ice cap
Temperatures drop well below
The blizzards are howling
Driving the ice and the snow
A fight for survival
Only the strong will remain
Shelter for warmth
Till the sunlight will come back again
The sun is gone, there's only night
Twenty-four hours a day
Black
Black is the night
Frozen white kingdoms
Stretching out into the nights
The heavens are dancing
Cripturing northern lights
A blanket of stars
Spreading out over the sky
On the top of the world
Sometimes you live or you die
Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty-four hours a day
Black
Black is the night
Black
Black is the night
Black is the night
