[Verse 1: King Diamond]
I need light
I need light to find my way around this house
I'm turning on the chandelier
Nice bright light for me to see
Little footsteps coming from the hallway
Oh no, the lights are flickering
Oh no, the lights are out

[Chorus: King Diamond]
In the black of night, oh, it's so hard to see
In the black of night, I see the moon
In the black of night, oh, the moon is full

[Chorus: King Diamond]
Hahahahaha, in the black of night, oh, it's so hard to see
In the black of night, I see the moon
In the black of night, oh, the moon is full
[Bridge: King Diamond, Livia Zita]
My black cat Magic
Mesmerized by something in the hallway
Who's to say what's living in the darkness?
Who is to say if a black cat can sense it?

[Verse 2: King Diamond]
I need light
I need light to find my way around this house
Oh, there's a candle
Just a little light, so I can see again
Little footsteps coming from the hallway
Ow, ow, something hit me on the head
Ow, ow, there it is again

[Chorus: King Diamond]
In the black of night, oh, it's so hard to see
In the black of night, I see the moon
In the black of night, oh, the moon is full
In the black of night, oh, it's so hard to see
