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 my yearning 
For the things I cannot be

Keep my mind from constant turning 
Toward the things I cannot see now 
Things I cannot see now 
Things I cannot see 

Darkness, darkness, 
Long and lonesome, 
Ease the day that brings me pain. 
I have felt the edge of sadness, 
I have known the depth of fear. 
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, 
Cover me with the endless night, 
Take away, take away the pain of knowing, 
Fill the emptiness of right now, 
Emptiness of right now, now, now 
Emptiness of ri-ight now. 

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow, 
Take my hand, and let me sleep. 
In the coolness of your shadow, 
In the silence, 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 of right now, 
Emptiness of right now now now 
Emptiness of right... 
Oh yeah Oh yeah 
Emptiness, emptiness 
Oh yeah
