Meat Loaf - Seize the Night

Head to my profile for the full album

This is the twelfth track from Meat Loaf's album 'Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose'

Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day - escape the light
Break the chains of imagination

Come with me and seize the night
Nows the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations...

In the shadows of the city
A hero's waiting for the call
And all the angels waking up
And all the devils start to fall

In the shadows of the city
They're dying for a thrill
They're going out over the edge
They're moving in for the kill

You gotta curse the day: it's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms and then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness and you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night

Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine! [etc.]

Dies irae, Kyrie! Sanctus, Sanctus exultate!

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last...

Let your dreams out of their cages
Every passion and desire
Let your visions be outrageous
Set your fantasies on fire

Everything will be permitted
There'll be nothing left to fear
I got the magic in your body
Your inhibitions disappear

You gotta curse the day: it's nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms and then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness and you're ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night

Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Libera me, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine! [etc.]

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night, memories collide to change the past
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last

Carpe Noctem...
Carpe Noctem...

Bless the night, before it has the chance to pass
Seize the night, you do what it takes to make it last...

Dies irae, Kyrie! Requiem da, Domine!
Dies irae, Kyrie! Sanctus, Sanctus exultate!..

Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day - escape the light
Break the chains of imagination

Come with me and seize the night
Nows the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations...

I fell in love with Meat Loaf in the late 70's and will always love him! No one can move me like his music does!

My favorite line in Meat Loaf's version is "Bless the night - Memories can lie to change the past" because it makes it kind of a traditional theme of "Bat" songs. No other version of Carpe Noctem has that lyric.

All the parts where no words are sung (Intro, 2:23-3:16, ect...), sound like they could be used in some epic videogame boss battle. NOT AT ALL SAYING THE OTHER PARTS ARE GOOD, THE WHOLE SONG IS EXCELLENT, though i do like the guitar part at 5:12-5:26.
