Into this pitch darkness we're hurled Where there's not a glimmer of light It's not the end of the world It's just the middle of the night And the blackest of flags is unfurled In all this absence of light It's not the end of the world good people Merely the middle of the night The middle of the night that's what this is If death is the real test this is just a quiz When grey creeps through your window it will be day light The end of this darkness is almost in sight Into a ball of fear you are curled And you're holding on with all of your might But it's not the end of the world little sister It's just the middle of the night In the maelstrom of your mind you are swirled You're almost down the drain but not quite It's not the end of the world my brother Rather the middle of the night The middle of the night when you fear everything But the birds will awake soon you will hear them sing You doubted you'd make it not sure you'd survive Now you're dead tired you're still alive Around fate's fickle finger we're twirled Small wonder we're all so up tight But it's not the end of the world good people Merely the middle of the night No it's not the end of the world as we know it It's just the middle of the night
