Diamond Head - 'In The Heat Of The Night' (Bloodstock 2021)

Steely eyes of a silvery people
Walk behind me, with evil intent.
Up to the tower, I stand alone
Stripped of rank before a throne I am sent.

What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?

Before long, behind adamantine doors,
I taste of the wine of their joy.
Through delirium of a tortured mind
Her face gave me strength to this day.

What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
n the heat of the night

But love deceived me, and in my despair
I recalled the ring once again
Born of Sorrow my cunning revives me,
And I took them with me enchained

Στο περσινό Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival εμφανίσθηκαν (τον δεκαπενταύγουστο) οι Diamond Head. Ανάμεσα στα τραγούδια που απέδωσαν "ζωντανά" ήταν και ο ύμνος "In The Heat Of The Night". Το κομμάτι το πρωτογνωρίσαμε στον δεύτερο δίσκο των Diamond Head "Borrowed Time" (με εξώφυλλο τον Elric του Μελνιμπονέ) που κυκλοφόρησε τον Μάρτιο του 1982. Τον ίδιο μήνα "βγήκε" και αυτόνομα, ως single.
