The Darkness Songtext
von Color Theory

I am the night
All your grievances and pain
Are swallowed whole
In the black of my domain

We belong outside
Walking bleary-eyed
Through the empty streets
Where the monsters meet
In the darkness
In the darkness

We stand alone
In a world of vacant cars
Let nothing change
Underneath these dying stars


In the status quo
Of the streetlamp′s glow
I will feast on you
As the shadows do
In the darkness
In the darkness

But I'm torn away
By the light of day
Stark and methodical
In this frame
Nothing looks the same
Landmarks of my daily life
Glimmer with magic by night

When you get tired
There′s a mattress on the floor
If you undress
I won't pressure you for more

I'll lay by your side
Still but satisfied
Counting phantom sheep
As the lonely weep
In the darkness
In the darkness


But I′m torn away
By the light of day
Stark and methodical
In this frame
Nothing looks the same
Landmarks of my daily life
Glimmer with magic by night

I am the night
I am the night
