Turn on the Dark Lyrics by Nick Shoulders

Home on the Rage

2021

[Verse 1]
We were more than most at the mercy of ghosts
Oh, can't you tell by the way we stare?
Every moment a tomb always opened too soon
Another cold breath to raise a hair
[Verse 2]
Lend an ear to the ground and hold the fire we found
I'll be howlin' at the crescent moon
We'll chew the stones of deceit and live your dreams of defeat
Oh, it will all be quiet soon
[Chorus]
"Won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for еndless night
It was never my choicе, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Chorus]
"Oh won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Verse 3]
It's the sirens and lights, electric funeral rights
Another dull knife in my skin
Holy hive of decay, the un-American way
It's a constant in the tentative sin
[Verse 4]
There's no eye on the throat and you're always alone
We didn't want it, and it isn't fair
Seein' ever I hope we are determined to cope
We will not despair
[Chorus]
"Won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Chorus]
"Oh won't you turn on the dark?"
I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice
There ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
"Won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Chorus]
"Oh won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
Well it was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
