Love of Midnight - Peter Himmelman

When justice and mercy have fused into one

When the knots of frustration are finally undone

When all hatred and shame have vanished from sight

I will love you with the love of midnight

When the victim shall stand and the aggressor shall fall When hunger and fear

are unknown to us all When men aren’t divided by black or white I will love you

with the love of midnight

We will stand at the pinpoint between darkness and light Where the truth is

made so plain to see W will witness the enmies and opposites unite As our

captive spirits run free When the bearers of injustice are making amends When

the ghosts of all sinners will finally be cleansed When we throw down our guns

refusing to fight I will love you with the love of midnight

When pride and fortunes cease to be real When the cold at heart can suddenly

feel When all wars are won by reason not might I will love you with the love of

midnight

We will stand at the threshold the bisecting of worlds As if at the top of some

hill And out of our blindness we shall have been hurled Not driven by fear but

by will When the scoffing of cynics is silenced at last When the eons of pain

and suffering have past When the angels of mercy have taken to flight I will

love you iwth the love of midnight

When the nations see that they’re immesurably small Compared to the one who

created us all When the dying of dark meets the waking of light I will love you

with the love of midnight

We will stand at the river where silence collides With countless generations of

screams Where the mysterious name which never divides Gives life to our blood

and our dreams When the veils and their shadows are taken away We will witness

the birth of the immaculate day To stand in the flashes between darness and

light Is to love you with the love of midnight

I’m so tired of waiting for it so tired of praying for it Midnight Talkin'

'bout midnight Yeah, the love of midnight
