The Night Is Coming Down

Everyman has to wrestle with the Devil,

He can only look away from the Shadow for so long,

The things unresolved in him will meet him as his fate,

And the people that he's close to will fill him...with hate.

Everyman has to walk a crooked mile,

Let the beast run free, see the Trickster smile.

He works so hard all the time to reify himself,

Insatiable for sex, fame, knowledge, power...and wealth.

Can't you feel, the night is coming down?

Can't you see, the dark stranger coming 'round.

Has he got you running ragged, all over town?

Can't you feel the night is coming down?

Everyman has to walk a naked mile,

Stripped of vanity, possessions, live in exile.

He worked so hard all the time to reify himself,

He was surrounded with sex, fame, knowledge, power, and wealth. Can�t you feel... Can�t you feel...

Can't you feel, the night is coming down?

Can't you see, the dark stranger coming 'round.

Has he got you running ragged, all over town?

Can't you feel the night is coming down?

Night's coming down....

Night's coming down
