At Midnight

[00:34.11] At midnight
[00:35.57] I awoke
[00:37.40] And looked up to the heavens;
[00:41.55] No star on the teeming firmament
[00:46.24] Smiled upon me
[00:49.45] At midnight.
[00:53.57] At midnight
[00:58.67] My thoughts stretched out
[01:00.24] Into the furthest reaches of darkness.
[01:04.07] No image of light
[01:08.07] Brought me consolation
[01:12.78] At midnight.
[01:18.54] At midnight
[01:21.23] I heeded
[01:22.88] The beat of my heart;
[01:25.76] A single throb of pain
[01:28.62] Was roused
[01:31.67] At midnight.
[01:38.02] At midnight
[01:45.86] I fought the battle
[01:48.00] Of humanity, of your suffering;
[01:52.97] I could not resolve it
[01:54.83] With all my might
[01:58.36] At midnight.
[02:06.46] At midnight
[02:09.12] I yielded all my might
[02:11.29] Into your hand:
[02:13.63] Lord over death and life,
[02:17.43] You stand guard
[02:22.67] At midnight.
