Lyrics

Darkness

 (Verse 1)

 I watched the darkness come down

Completely over my town

I couldn't see my fingers

I couldn't see my way

All I could do was watch my past on constant replay

 (Verse 2)

I felt the darkness come down

So bleakly over the ground

I haven't felt such numbness

I couldn't thaw my heart

All I could do was laugh out loud as we fell apart

 (Bridge)

I walked up to a window

But there was no light inside

Whatever love had lived there

Had surely long since died

(Verse 3)

I made the darkness come down

Too deeply over my town

I cannot see my soft tears

But I can taste their salt

All I can do is look back at all the wars we fought
