Injustice and mercy infused into one
When the knots of frustration
are finally undone
When all hatred and shame
have vanished from sight
I will love you with the love of
mid night
When the victim should stand,
the aggressor should fall
When hun ger and fear are
unknown to us all
When men are divided by black or by white
I will love you with a love of midnight
Yes, I will
We will stand at the pinpoint
between darkness and light
Where the truth is made so plain to see
We will witness the enemies
and op posites unite
As our captive spirits run free
The bearers of injustice are
making amends
When the ghosts of all
sinners will finally
be cleansed
When we throw down our guns,
refusing to fight I will love you with the love of midnight
Midnight
Oh, I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna roar
Pride and fortune cease to be real
When the cold,
that heart can suddenly feel
When all wars are won by reason, not might
I will love you with a loving denial
Yes, I will
We will stand at the threshold
of bisexual worlds
As if at the top of some hill
And out of our blindness
we shall have been hurled
Not driven by fear but by will
And when the scoffing of
cynics is silenced at last
When the eons of pain and
suffering have passed
When the an gels of
mercy have taken to flight
I will love you with a love of midnight
And when the na tions see,
they're immeasurably small
Compared to the one who
created us all
When the dying of the dark
meets the waking of the light
I will love you with the love
of midnight
Talking about midnight
We will stand the river
where si lence collides
With countless genera
tions of screams
With a mysterious name
which never divides
Gives life to our blood and our dreams
If the hills and the shadows
are taken away
We will witness the birth of
the immaculate day
To stand in the flash between
darkness an d light
Is to love you with the love of midnight
Mm, midnight
And I'm so tired of waiting for it
I'm so tired of waiting for it
I'm so tired of playing for him
Midnight
I'm talking about midnight, yeah
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
Thank you.
