Shame on the Night, the last song of the 1983 album Holy Diver, talks about the “night” as the incarnation of evil making us lose all hope by slowly taking over the “day”.
The dark tone and atmosphere of the song, as well as the ambient music, imply that the song is about doing your best to live on...
Shame on the Night Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shame on the night
For places I've been and what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you never let me know just what they mean
And, oh, so, shame on the night, alright
[Verse 2]
And shame on you
You've stolen the day, snatched it away
But I saw the sky and I never wanna die
Now you know the reason why
I say, oh, shame on the night
[Chorus]
You don't care what you've done
So I think I'd better run
[Verse 3]
Shame on the sun
For the light you sold, I've lost my hold
On the magic flame, but now I know your name
Oh, Lord, just go the way you came again
Oh, oh, shame on the night
[Chorus]
You don't care what you've done
So I know I'd better run
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Shame on the night
For places I've been and what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
You never, never, never know just what they mean
And oh, shame on the night
[Chorus 3]
You don't care what you've done
Here I go, I've got to run
[Breakdown]
Shame on the night
Shame, shame on you
Shame on my dreams
Shame on the sun and you
Shame on the night
[Outro]
Well, I've lost my hold
On the magic flame
But now I know your name
Shame on the night
Shame on you
Shame on all of you
Shame on the night
