Big Darkness Lyrics - Red Devil Dawn - Crooked Fingers

Dead in the sun and covered in glue 

There is a town where nothing moves 

Nobody works and nobody plays 

And all of their dreams have melted away 

All of their hopes have come and gone 

Even the vultures have moved on 

They say a hero's coming soon 

With ivory lungs like huge balloons 

There ain't no moon and there ain't no stars 

Over the land of endless scars 

Covered in brown and coming undone 

We are what we will not become 

Only a rundown rusty still 

Runs through a town that has no will 

But they say a hero's coming soon 

He's coming to take a giant breath 

Into his lungs and blow away the sun 

I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd 

Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out 

To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim 

Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away 

And if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right 

'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light 

I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come 

I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun 

There ain't no heat and there ain't no light 

Only the black hole of our eyes 

Caught in an overcrowded room 

Waiting for its set and two moves 

But out in the distance there's a glow 

That nobody sees so nobody knows 

Well they say a hero's coming soon 

He's coming to take a giant breath of air 

Into his lungs and blow away the sun
