The Dark Lyrics - Tage Mahal - Jon Oliva's Pain

The smoke from my last cigarette 

Disappears into the lights 

Waiting on something to make this feeling right 

I twist and moan, and turn the other cheek 

I wait for my moment to be free 

Im not alone 

Im not alone 

The night is black it twists and turns 

Inside its agony 

It waits for you, it waits for me, in all its majesty 

I can feel it, I can hear it, I can see it 

Slowly coming closer to me now 

Its breathing, heart is beating, thoughts misleading 

Reality has somehow broken down 

Slowly slips away, slips into the grave 

I dont think Ill ever, ever, ever get away 

Somehow save our souls, as the darkness calls, 

From beyond these walls 

I feel somethings going wrong 

The dark descends upon this 

World of anger, hate and greed 

Surrounding you, engulfing me 

Now all that we can see 

Lying, cheating, children bleeding 

Mothers pleading 

Will you stop it, will you stop it now 

Can you feel it, do you hear it 

Its so near, its coming closer, coming closer now 

Tell me what you see 

Tell me what you know 

Tell me can we ever really ever get away 

Try to save our souls as the dark unfolds 

All thats still untold 

I feel somethings going wrong 

And as the dark begins to die into another day 

And fate is testing once again all we can do is pray 

To sweet Jesus, will you lead us, do you hear us 

Calling to you, calling to you now 

Were praying, contemplating, situations 

That can fall before us even know 

Tell us what you need, tell us what you want 

As the hands of time have all but exited the play 

Tell us whats in store, fall all that stand before 

As the dark unfolds 

I feel somethings going wrong
