Dark Days Indeed

When I was born, I shamed the dawn

I saw the angels cry

I raised my arms and made the stars tremble in the sky

When I sang, the choirs were humbled

When I danced, the mountains crumbled

I chased the waves back into the sea

I feasted on the fatted calf, I drank whole cities dry

I made the devil dance for me, I spat into his eye

I said, "So long Jack, we hardly knew you,

Here's to hell, and hallelujah

Take this rock and shake it 'til it bleeds"

'cause these are dark days indeed

These are dark days indeed

These are, dark days, dark days,

these are dark days indeed.

We don't know who put this cup of life into our hands

But when we go, our bones will bake on the burning sands

'cause we walk but once among the living

So no regrets, and no forgiving

It's hard to dance when you're down upon your knees

'cause these are dark days indeed

These are dark days indeed

These are, dark days, dark days,

these are dark days indeed.
