The Darkness

My touch dissolves the premonition.
Too much for one in your condition.
When no one's ever sent back alive
Or too young to die.
You pray to God to be forgiven.
Lay waste the sins of your ambition
It's too late now to run from the night
And back to the light

Desperately holding what you've got.
Wanting control of what you've not...

I am "The Darkness" in this lowly town.
I can see everyone in need.
Every man left broken hearted now
As every woman bleeds

My love begins your demolition.
Your curse is of your own volition.
You drank from me. Your lust and desire.
Too close to the fire.
You're damed, so kneel in your submission
Your brand is carved with my initials.
There's no escape, your life is a lie.
Your soul walks the wire

Desperately holding what you've got.
Wanting control of what you've not...

I am "The Darkness" in this lowly town.
I can see everyone in need.
Every man left broken hearted now
As every woman bleeds
