I've dreamed of colors, my love was shattered
I cast a shadow like a black rainbow
Because I'm gray like the gray decay
Ashes to ashes and we all fade away

I look at the cross and I look away
Forgive me mother, I have strayed from the way

Hello darkness, teach me your ways I invoke your name
Hello darkness, let's have some fun playing wicked games
It's all between the line and the darkness of mine
Hello darkness, the wildest souls will never be tamed

I am happy when the skies are gray
You're gonna know, dear, how much you'll pay
So don't you take my words as play
I must have a dark side, If I am to be whole

I look at the cross and I look away
Forgive me mother, I have strayed from the way

Hello darkness, teach me your ways I invoke your name
Hello darkness, let's have some fun playing wicked games
It's all between the line and the darkness of mine
Hello darkness, the wildest souls will never be tamed

Hello darkness you are a monster, but you had a heart
Hello darkness
Hello darkness
Hello darkness
Hello darkness

I am the eminent circle
I am present in the way
Let thy dark in and all thy power
Take possession in the tower
Charge with victory vestry
Darkness lights the fires in me

Hello darkness, teach me your ways I invoke your name
Hello darkness, let's have some fun playing wicked games
It's all between the line and the darkness of mine
Hello darkness, the wildest souls will never be tamed

Light thinks it travels faster than anything
But it is wrong, no matter how fast light travels
It finds the darkness has always got there first and it's waiting for it
