I wrote, performed and recorded Into the Night with a band called Toto Caelo in the early 90s.  “Toto Caelo” is Latin for “By the whole extent of the heavens”  If you get a chance, look up the band.  We did some cool stuff.

Into the Night

Into the night was called

Into the night came

Into the night was called

Into the night came Reign

Into the night came Reign

 

And so he stood there after

Singing the songs of laughter

So he stood there after

Singing the songs of pain

He sang the songs of pain

 

And everybody ran out screaming

Wishing they were only dreaming

But the monster’s teeth were gleaming

So they had to play the game

Or to die in shame

 

Into the night was called

Into the night came

Into the night was called

Into the night came Reign

Into the night came Reign

 

And so he stood there after

Came through the walls of plaster

So he stood there after

Bringing in a wall of flame

He brought a wall of flame

 

And he said

To the death there’d be a battle

After Dark among the Shadows

Swords would class and bullets travel

And the loser dies in vain

The winner rides away

 

Into the night was called

Into the night came

Into the night was called

Into the night came Reign

Into the night came Reign

 

And so he stood there after

Singing the songs of laughter

So he stood there after

Singing the songs of pain

He sang the songs of pain

 

And though the soldier all were wary

To the grave the beast was carried

And his broken body buried

And the night was turned to day

The night was turned to day

 

Into the night….
