Dark Lyrics by Gary Numan

Exposure

1997

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall
Now the darkness comes
And I'll pray for
The end of us all

[Chorus]
Don't let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Don't let the dark into me
We raised the tower of Babel for you
Don't let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Don't let the dark into me
Don't let the vengeance of Heaven be you

[Verse 2]
So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease
Look down into the face of God
Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah
The one true divinity
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter
Who said I'd save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind

[Chorus]
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you
