Diamond Head - Heat of the Night lyrics

Steely eyes of a silvery people

Walk behind me, with evil intent.

Up to the tower, I stand alone

Stripped of rank before a throne I am sent.

What befalls us in the heat of the night?

What befalls us in the heat of the night?

Before long, behind adamantine doors,

I taste of the wine of their joy.

Through delirium of a tortured mind

Her face gave me strength to this day.

What befalls us in the heat of the night?

What befalls us in the heat of the night?

In the heat of the night

But love deceived me, and in my despair

I recalled the ring once again

Born of Sorrow my cunning revives me,

And I took them with me enchained

What befalls us in the heat of the night?

What befalls us in the heat of the night?

In the heat of the night
