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
