Who cries for the dead of the night?
Who weeps with the sorrow of ghosts?
The lonesome of the witching hour
Who cries for the dead of the night?

Who weeps with the sorrow of ghosts?
Who cares for the children of dark?
The dawnbringer slays them
Who weeps with the sorrow of ghosts?

Who cares for the children of dark?
Who sings with the loneliest wolf?
He howls for all that is lost
Who cares for the children of dark?

Who sings with the loneliest wolf?
Who cries for the dead of the night?
The sadness of ages upon them
Who sings with the loneliest wolf?

Who cries for the dead of the night?
When silence is all that surrounds them
Moonlight so cold and bitter
Who cries for the dead of the night?
