The Dark

The smoke from my last cigarette

Disappears into the lights

Waiting on something to make this feeling right

I twist and moan, and turn the other cheek

I wait for my moment to be free

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

The night is black it twists and turns

Inside it's agony

It waits for you, it waits for me, in all its majesty

I can feel it, I can hear it, I can see it

Slowly coming closer to me now

It's breathing, heart is beating, thoughts misleading

Reality has somehow broken down

Slowly slips away, slips into the grave

I don't think I'll ever, ever, ever get away

Somehow save our souls, as the darkness calls,

From beyond these walls

I feel something's going wrong

The dark descends upon this

World of anger, hate and greed

Surrounding you, engulfing me

Now all that we can see

Lying, cheating, children bleeding

Mothers pleading

Will you stop it, will you stop it now

Can you feel it, do you hear it

It's so near, it's coming closer, coming closer now

Tell me what you see

Tell me what you know

Tell me can we ever really ever get away

Try to save our souls as the dark unfolds

All that's still untold

I feel something's going wrong

And as the dark begins to die into another day

And fate is testing once again all we can do is pray

To sweet Jesus, will you lead us, do you hear us

Calling to you, calling to you now

We're praying, contemplating, situations

That can fall before us even know

Tell us what you need, tell us what you want

As the hands of time have all but exited the play

Tell us what's in store, fall all that stand before

As the dark unfolds:

I feel something's going wrong
