Army of the Night

Army of the Night is a song by the German power metal group Powerwolf released on May 8, 2015. It was a first single released from the album Blessed & Possessed.

After the single's release the band stated that: "Army of the night is one of the many songs of "Blessed & Possessed" we can't wait to perform live. Already the very first time we played that song during the songwriting, the energy and dynamics literally blew us away and we felt like this is going to be a must-play. While many of the songs on "Blessed & Possessed" are very detailed and elaborated, this one is probably one of straightest and most compact POWERWOLF songs to date."

The music video was released on YouTube on June 25, 2015.

In 2018 the song got covered by Swedish band Amaranthe. It was available on the Deluxe Edition of Powerwolf's album The Sacrament of Sin.

Lyrics
Stand up all the night and call the fight

Let your mind go wild before the light

Here we come the army of the night

Mater Maria

Lined up side by side and bound to pray

Sent do die and fight the final day

Army of the night - we came to stay

Mater Maria

Better you pray before the night is falling

Call on the heaven sent, amen

Follow the night, it's your messiah calling

Bring on the sacrament, amen

Come to the other side

Into the dark we hide

Gather them for rite

Sacristarum

We are the force allied

Into the War we ride

Halleluja

Enemies falling when the sermon spoken

Taken by higher hand, amen

Hallow the martyrs when the bible broken

Summon the testament, amen

Sanctify the night for all the time

Break the bread and raise the holy wine

Army of the night - go walk the line

Mater Maria
