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 [Bm]turns
Inside it's agony
It waits for [Dm7]you, it waits for [Dm7]me, in all [Em]its majesty
I can feel it, I can hear it, I can see it
Slowly coming closer to [C7]me now
It's breathing, heart is beating, thoughts misleading
Reality has somehow broken down
Slowly slips away, slips into [C7]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 [C7]this
World of anger, hate and [Bm]greed
Surrounding you, engulfing me
Now all [Em]that we can see
Lying, cheating, children bleeding
Mothers pleading
Will you [A7stop it, will you [A7stop it now
Can you [A7feel it, do you [A7hear it
It's so near, it's coming closer, coming closer now

Tell me what you [A7see
Tell me what you [A7know
Tell me can we ever ɾeally ever get away
Try to [C7]save our souls as the dark unfolds
All that's still untold
I feel something's going wrong

And as the dark begins to [C7]die into [C7]another day
And fate is testing once again all [Em]we can do is pray
To sweet Jesus, will you [A7lead us, do you [A7hear us
Calling to [C7]you, calling to [C7]you [A7now
We're praying, contemplating, situations
That can fall [Em]before us even know

Tell us what you [A7need, tell us what you [A7want
As the hands of time have all [Em]but exited the play
Tell us what's in store, fall [Em]all [Em]that stand [Bm]before
As the dark unfoldsâ?¦
I feel something's going wrong
