The Night
Disturbed Lyrics

What has come over me
I'm feeling a strange new influence on my thoughts and actions

What madness taken hold of my heart
It's like I'm being driven by an irrational, almost insane force

To run away, the only answer
My impulse is to escape from something, and running seems like the only option

Pulling me away
Whatever is driving me is exerting a powerful force

To run upon my sight
I'm being compelled to move towards something that I can see

So now recovering
But now I'm starting to get a hold of myself again

Sweet shadow taking hold of my mind
It's like a comforting, seductive darkness is enveloping my thoughts

Another day has been devoured
I have lost another day to this consuming impulse

Calling me away, bringing the question
Something is beckoning me, and it's making me question myself

For saving me from all they've taken
This dark, consuming force has been a refuge, saving me from some other pain or loss

Let my honor fall again
But I know that giving in to this force will tarnish my self-respect

Giving me the strength to face them
At the same time, this force is giving me the courage to confront some other challenge or obstacle

Feeling it taking over now
But now the force is getting stronger, and it's becoming more difficult to resist

I'm about to take it all away
I'm on the brink of doing something drastic, something that will have serious consequences

There can be no better way of knowing
It's as if I am certain that this is the right course of action, no matter what

In a world beyond controlling
This situation is beyond my control, and maybe beyond anyone's

Are you going to deny the savior
Will you turn away from the salvation offered by this dark force?

In front of your eyes?
Can you ignore what's happening right in front of you?

Stare into the night
Look deeply into the darkness of this force, and don't turn away

Power beyond containing
This force is incredibly powerful and impossible to contain

Are you going to remain a slave for
Will you continue to be a passive victim of this force?

The rest of your life?
Is this what you want for your whole life, to be driven by this consuming darkness?

Give into the night
The only way to find peace is to give in to this force

This self-discovery
I am learning something important about myself through this experience

Redemption taking hold of my mind
I feel like I am being redeemed somehow, even if it's a dark form of redemption

This serenade of haunting voices
The dark force is like a seductive, eerie song that I cannot resist

To piece from the sight
I am being pulled away from reality by this force, and it's almost like I'm seeing things that don't exist

So much felicity
I feel an intense joy and euphoria when I give in to this force

Downgrade and taking hold of my head
But I know that this force is also bringing me down, making me weaker and less capable of resisting

Leading me away from hibernation
At the same time, this force is waking me up to some other aspect of my life that I've been neglecting

Strong and I'm unafraid
And even though this force is making me weaker in some ways, I also feel a new strength and courage that I've never experienced before

Never a question why
I don't even need to ask myself why I'm doing this, because it feels like the only choice that makes sense

Night, night, night
The darkness of this force is all-encompassing and eternal, like night

Give into the night
The only way to find peace is to give in to this force
