As night awakens and the day is put to sleep By dancing shadows on the wall The moon is glowing and the darkness starts to creep I must obey the masters call
Never ever may I see the light of day Never darkness I'll betray
O hear my cry, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to Do be my guide, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to fall fall
I am the keeper of the mysteries of night The quiet beauty of what's thine I am the watcher and if men could share my sights They too would worship thee as I do
Never ever would the sun rise in the east Never none disturb the peace
O hear my cry, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to Do be my guide, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to fall fall
By the twelve strikes of the clock All the wonders of night are unlocked
Never ever may I see the light of day Never darkness I'll betray
O hear my cry, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to Do be my guide, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to fall fall
