Darkness, darkness be my pillow;
take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness, of your shadow;
in the silence, of your deep
Darkness, darkness hide the yearning;
for the things, that can not be
Keep my mind, from constant turning;
towards the things, I can not see, now;
things I can not see, now;
things I can not see
Darkness, darkness long and lonesome;
ease the day, that brings me pain
I have fell, into the sadness;
I hide to trick the fear
Darkness, darkness be my blanket;
cover me, with your endless night
Take away take away the pain of knowing;
fill the emptiness, so bright now
emptiness, so bright now
emptiness, so bright
Solo
Darkness, darkness be my pillow;
take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness, of your shadow;
in the silence, of your deep
Darkness, darkness be my blanket;
cover me, with the endless night
Take away, take away the pain of knowing;
fill the emptiness, so bright now
emptiness, so bright, now, now
emptiness, so bright
Oh, yeah Oh, yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh, yeah
