Theme
A haunting cover of Depeche Mode's 1990 synth ballad, appearing on Japanese editions of the album. Ghost's interpretation maintains the original's gloomy atmosphere while embedding it within Infestissumam's darkly spiritual narrative. The synth textures evoke waiting—not for salvation, but for darkness to fully descend and consume the world.
Lyrics
I am waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
I've been waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I've been waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better
Than when they were opened
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
