Full moon is rising and laying down shadows
Pale horse is riding that shows me the way
It's hard to see clearly what path it has chosen
But somehow I fear I won't see light of day
Suddenly spirits appear in my sight
Haunted by melodies lost in the night

Oooooooh, humming this song to myself
Oooooooh, humming this song to myself
In the darkness I'm singing out loud
Facing the night when I'm frightened
Oooooooh, humming this song to myself

I see a lost world, in need of redemption
Volcano's bursting out, scorching the sky
People are reaching for hands of salvation
Forefathers help me and answer me why
Suddenly spirits appear in my sight
Haunted by melodies lost in the night

Oooooooh, humming this song to myself
Oooooooh, humming this song to myself
In the darkness I'm singing out loud
Facing the night when I'm frightened
Oooooooh, humming this song to myself

Dark clouds are fading, a new day is dawning
This morning breeze blows the sadness away
Chances are reborn in pureness of morning
Unleashing the power and brighten the day

Oooooooh, humming this song to myself
Oooooooh, humming this song to myself
In the darkness I'm singing out loud
Facing the night when I'm frightened
Oooooooh, humming this song to myself

The idea was actually to turn Johnny Cash' Ring Of Fire into a punk/rock-song. However, this song emerged instead and -to me- is quite interesting. It's about a dream of Armageddon (with Johnny Cash' The Man Comes Around in mind), but the main character is not scared because he's humming this melody in the darkness. The bridge pulls him out of the dream.
Written on acoustic guitars. The melody for the chorus came first, along with Mark's "humming this song to myself". Lyrically, we tried to oppose that happy-go-lucky line with all the misery and bad dreams we could think of. It wasn't really that hard to come up with. Don't we all have our moments in the dead of night fearing that the worst we can imagine is gonna happen …?
