Turn your face away from the garish light of day

And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before

Softly deftly music shall surround you

Open up your mind let your fantasies unwind

In this darkness which you know you cannot fight


[Chorus]
Ab7                              Db   
The darkness of the music of the night
              B                    E                
Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world
          A                         Eb         
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before

Let your soul take you where you long to be

Only then can you belong to me

Floating falling sweet intoxication
         Ab       Gb         Db        Ab
Touch me trust me savor each sensation ■ 
        Gb    Db             Gb               Db
Let the dream begin let your darker side give in
       Gb       B         Db          
To the power of the music that I write
