Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Dark as night 
Dark as the grave 
Dark wherein my friend is laid 
Sleepwalkers fill the boulevards 
Pretty girls and backward boys 
All the voices can be heard 
An opera of the absurd 

Dark as night 
Dark as the grave 
Dark wherein my friend is laid 
We welcome you 
We welcome you 
The world of chaos far away 
As the crowd of mourners said 
Tragedy is nothing new 

Dark as night
