I Am the Night Lyrics
Show me gently, what I don’t know
I got no safety, now you go on and on
Be beneath you, be up above
Dance for me like you would in Babylon
Release your fury, all of your greed
Just you go ahead and lay it all on me
My days are numbered, we’re wasting time
I am your fire, gotta keep me burning
I’ll be your vengeance, I will never let you out of my sight
(oh no) don’t you know I am the night!
I ain’t superstitious, you’re much too real
Still I hope you’re gonna put a spell on me
I put this off for way too long
You cannot save me, nobody is that strong
I am the darkness, you’re the light
But I won’t hide you, I won’t even try
Give me your beauty, tend to my bruises
I am your fire, gotta keep me burning
I’ll be your vengeance, I will never let you out of my sight
(oh no) don’t you know I am the night!
I am the night!
I got no safety, now you go on and on
Be beneath you, be up above
Dance for me like you would in Babylon
Just you go ahead and lay it all on me
My days are numbered, we’re wasting time
I’ll be your vengeance, I will never let you out of my sight
(oh no) don’t you know I am the night!
Still I hope you’re gonna put a spell on me
I put this off for way too long
You cannot save me, nobody is that strong
But I won’t hide you, I won’t even try
Give me your beauty, tend to my bruises
I’ll be your vengeance, I will never let you out of my sight
(oh no) don’t you know I am the night!

According to Per, this song is a 'reference-bonanza', from him trying many times to write a song like Iron Maiden's Wrathchild. But I think it's just another thinly-veiled Spidergawd song about Batman (like "No Man's Land"). Come on! "I am vengeance, I am the night... I am Batman"?! It's famous! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rvb2LSzCyY
