i see the darkness when i open up my eyes - strangling all the light that used to shine. i see the darkness where it always used to hide naked on the flesh of every heart as black as night. i see the darkness where it never used to be. clouded by my ignorance i chose to disbelieve. i see the darkness. it was always by my side but now it's not ashamed to take its stride.
i can see the darkness. oh i used to see the light. darkness when the scales fall from my eyes. i see the darkness. can't clear it from my mind. close my eyes it's almost time. close my eyes it's almost time.
i see the darkness rolling over like a cloud just before the thunder crashes down. i see the darkness. watch it move across the ground - overwhelms the exiles as they mourn the deathly sound. i see the darkness. it marches like a troop - legions in an army pulling off the final coup. i see the darkness like a flood consumes the land - shadows on the faces of the damned.
i can see the darkness where i used to see the light. darkness when the scales fall from my eyes. i see the darkness. can't clear it from my mind. close my eyes it's almost time. close my eyes it's almost time. close my eyes it's almost time. it's almost time.
i can see the darkness. oh i used to see the light. darkness when the scales fall from my eyes. i see the darkness. can't clear it from my mind. close my eyes it's almost time. close my eyes.
