When did they come and where did they go My thoughts, pure and white like snow? Here comes the long and dark night of my soul And now I'm all alone There is a deep dark hole now where my love once used to be She set me free This is the long and dark night of my soul Yes, now I'm all alone So I've erased myself, replaced my mind, it's a clean slate All I've felt and everyone I've ever known is gone I feel the need to leave, just run straight into nowhere There's nothing left in this town but self-loathing You think you know, think you can see who I am? Don't colour my sleeves with your narrow mind I'm more than my hair or the clothes that I wear I feel the need for a new way of thinking So I surrender myself to me When did they come and where did they go My thoughts, pure and white like snow? Here comes the long and dark night of my soul And now I'm all alone There's a deep dark hole now where my love once used to be She set me free This is the long and dark night of my soul Yes, now I'm all alone (guitar solo: David Zackrisson) Lost in the approaching night Traces of summer, still warm and breezy As the sun sets over the forest The woods are dark, cold and damp I'm alone in here, and though I can't feel the presence of man I feel something staring I don't the animals will harm me But I know, they know I'm here To them I am the predator It's man they've learned to fear Suddenly a gun shot, then another Someone is aiming at me I throw myself behind a big old pine My heart is beating like crazy I can sense The Hunter, he's behind me I'm a deer in his eyes I start to run and fear him fire once more Maybe I'm too far away (synth solo: Rikard Sjöblom)
