It's a dark night
It's a dark night of the soul
One soul is for sale
And you all go to hell
'Cause it's a dark night of the soul

From the rooftops they shout
With foam at the mouth
Revolution!
In the churches they cry
With hands held up high
Kyrie eleison!

It's a dark night
It's a dark night
It's a dark night of the soul
One soul is for sale
And you all go to hell
'Cause it's a dark night of the soul

The train must be kept running
The factories must be kept burning
With souls and with coals
At the crossroads you stand
With a contract in your hand
And it's the last light of the day

It's a dark night
It's a dark night
It's a dark night of the soul
One soul is for sale
And you all go to hell
'Cause it's a dark night of the soul

Well, the poor man slays the rich man
Then he moves into his house
But when his brother comes and knockin'
Well, he too loses his life

'Cause it's a dark night
It's a dark night
It's a dark night of the soul
One soul is for sale
And you all go to hell
'Cause it's a dark night of the soul

It's a dark night
It's a dark night
It's a dark night of the soul
One soul is for sale
And you all go to hell
'Cause it's a dark night of the soul
