It's a dark night It's a dark night of the soul One soul is for sale And you all go to hell 'Cause it's a dark night of the soul From the rooftops they shout With foam at the mouth Revolution! In the churches they cry With hands held up high Kyrie eleison! It's a dark night It's a dark night It's a dark night of the soul One soul is for sale And you all go to hell 'Cause it's a dark night of the soul The train must be kept running The factories must be kept burning With souls and with coals At the crossroads you stand With a contract in your hand And it's the last light of the day It's a dark night It's a dark night It's a dark night of the soul One soul is for sale And you all go to hell 'Cause it's a dark night of the soul Well, the poor man slays the rich man Then he moves into his house But when his brother comes and knockin' Well, he too loses his life 'Cause it's a dark night It's a dark night It's a dark night of the soul One soul is for sale And you all go to hell 'Cause it's a dark night of the soul It's a dark night It's a dark night It's a dark night of the soul One soul is for sale And you all go to hell 'Cause it's a dark night of the soul
