Midnight on the hill I heard the thunder fill
The stillness of the night
It hit me like a slap, you're never comin' back
From the stillness of the night
It was never black or white, neither wrong or right
Like the shadow of a full moon's light
I knew we'd lost the track, when I heard the lightning crack
The stillness of the night

In the stillness of the night
That's when we'll make it right
We can stop the thunder till the light
In the stillness of the night

I know you think you hear, those voices in your ear
In the stillness of the night
But I've tried to make it clear there's nothing left to fear
Just the stillness of the night
And if you listen hard you might find the reason for your fright
Just the wind is high tonight
And the danger we must face is the anger of this race
In the stillness of the night

In the stillness of the night
That's when we'll make it right
We can stop the thunder till the light
In the stillness of the night
