In a world consumed by fright
There is A Darker Shade of Night
Where the shadows tend to bite
And where life forgets the light
And the men aren't bold
When the blood runs cold
Where the lies are told
And the truths are sold
And the children tend to cry
And some of us can fly
Where everythings a lie
In a world where we can't die
And the women sin
And the villains win
In this world we're in
Where the sun had been
The light won't rise
To the chilling cries
As the crow flies
Through the pitch black skies
The wolf is king
In the pale moons ring
And the sirens sing
Of the ravens wing
And magic is motion
In the velvet ocean
Of the minds emotion
And the bodies commotion
Where the fire burns
And the water churns
Where the wind earns
What the earth yearns
So please don't fight
Those of us who bite
Because without the light
Lurks A Darker Shade of Night
There is A Darker Shade of Night
Where the shadows tend to bite
And where life forgets the light
And the men aren't bold
When the blood runs cold
Where the lies are told
And the truths are sold
And the children tend to cry
And some of us can fly
Where everythings a lie
In a world where we can't die
And the women sin
And the villains win
In this world we're in
Where the sun had been
The light won't rise
To the chilling cries
As the crow flies
Through the pitch black skies
The wolf is king
In the pale moons ring
And the sirens sing
Of the ravens wing
And magic is motion
In the velvet ocean
Of the minds emotion
And the bodies commotion
Where the fire burns
And the water churns
Where the wind earns
What the earth yearns
So please don't fight
Those of us who bite
Because without the light
Lurks A Darker Shade of Night
