"That night will live forever
Their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another
But longing to be lovers
Promising each other that the night will only know"
They're both adults, married to other people, and this is the start of their affair.
"But they would pay for their deceiving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know"
There's karma and fate here. The spot they picked at random turned out to be significant.
"And they watched her fall in silence
To save their own alliance"
They watched the woman be assaulted, probably raped, and did nothing, said nothing, because they didn't want anyone to find out about their affair.
"Abandoned and forsaken
Too many pills were taken"
I think she was raped, and died by suicide. I agree with earlier comments that murder in a back alley is not going to look like suicide by pills.
"Bound by their behavior
They could have been her savior
Now guilt becomes the endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed
And it's never been admitted
Have the guilty been acquitted
Lord, the night will only know"
Their bad decision, their sin, through luck or fate or whatever, could have led to something good. They only witnessed the crime because of their affair. They could have saved her, but instead of choosing to help, before or after the crime, they committed another crime. Not a legal one, but a moral one. They kept quiet, and placed their reputations above the other woman's life. They have to live the rest of their lives with that guilt.
