[Chorus]
How well I know the fountain that flows and runs
Though it's night
That eternal fountain is hidden
How well I know where it has its lair
Though it's night

[Verse 1]
In this dark night of this life
How well I know the cold fountain by faith
Though it's night
Though it's night
Though it's night

[Verse 2]
I don't know its origin, well it has none
But I know that everything's origin comes from it
Though it's night
I know that there can be anything so beautiful
And that heavens and earth drink from it
Though it's night
Though it's night
Though it's night

[Chorus]
I know well that there is no soil in it
And that no one can cross through it
Though it's night
Its brightness is never darkened
And all light comes from it
Though it's night

[Verse 3]
And so plentiful are its streams
That heavens, hells water, and people
Though it's night
Though it's night
Though it's night

[Bridge]
Evеn though it is night
The stream that rises from this fountain
I know wеll that it is easily able and omnipotent
Though it's night
The stream that from these two proceeds
I know that neither of them precedes it
Though it is night
Here the creatures are being called
And of this water they fill themselves, though in the dark
Though it is night
In this living fountain of desire
In this bread of life, I see her
Though it is night
In this eternal fountain it's hidden
In this living bread for giving me life
Though it is night
Though it is night
Though it is night

[Outro]
Though it is night
Though it's night
Though it's night, aah
Though it's night
Though it's night
Though it's night, aah

Though it is night
Though it's night
Though it's night
Though it's night

Though it's night
Though it is night
Though it is night
Though it is night
