about

Dark Song (Knight, Sthorm) Tarl Knight - vocals, drums, synth / Sthorm - vocals

lyrics

The devil’s in the details, and the details are in the dark
And the demons wait around for us to drown like drooling sharks
And the denizens that dwell around their shady backroom deals
They dare us to redefine and reinvent the broken wheel

And as long as all ye demons and ye devils do your wrong
I’m-a sing a dark, dark song, I’m-a sing a dark, dark song

The devils and the demons try to dress in their denial
And they demonize the damaged and distressed at their desire
The doorway to destruction, it is just across the room
And our dreams are turned to nightmares and our nightmares turn to doom

And as long as all ye demons and ye devils do your wrong
I’m-a sing a dark, dark song, I’m-a sing a dark, dark song

Doctoring these demons, dare to dodge the darkness
The Pied Piper get the rats dancing in the darkest corner known to man
All is welcome, all is damned
Jumping to the jubilee and joining hands
Moving to the jamboree, the jet black to the pitch black
The paradigm just begins, let me cast a shadow upon your sins
As you do the devious deeds
Politics, politricks, plotting, planning, like poltergeists they’re here
Misdirecting with diversions and illusions
Diverting our minds, dousing us with delusions
As I’m consumed in a room, like a drum that go boom, boom, boom
I’m the bell that rung, singing dark songs
There’s nowhere left for you to run

And as long as all ye demons and ye devils do your wrong
I’m-a sing a dark, dark song, I’m-a sing a dark, dark song

I’m singing and I’m humming to the distant sound of stomp
And through the danger I am drumming ‘til the draining of the swamp
Though, as long as all ye demons and ye devils do your wrong
I’m-a sing a dark, dark song

And as long as all ye demons and ye devils do your wrong
I’m-a sing a dark, dark song, I’m-a sing a dark, dark song
I’m-a sing a dark, dark song.
