Out of the night comes
a timeless thing
calm in simplicity
whispers soft
a seductive voice
meant for the human ear
Down, down, down
i'm gonna take you down
that's when the dying calls
If i look
in the dark of the world
if i lose i don't mind
that's when the dying calls
Down through the ages
from the dawn of time
roam through the world of dreams
up from the black
of the mississippi mud
calling out to everything
Down, down, down
i'm gonna bring you down
that's when the dying calls
If i play in the dark of the world
if i lose i don't mind
that's when the dying calls
That's when the dying calls, yea
that's when the dying calls
If i play in the dark of this world
and if i lose i don't mind
that's when the dying calls
That's when the dying calls
that's when the dying calls
when the dying calls
Up from the black of night
that's when the dying calls
down from the dawn of time
when the dying calls
If i play in the dark of the world
and if i lose i don't mind
that's when the dying calls, yea
