- Lights Went Out LyricsLights went out then came judgement day
Dragging its heals and waiting for the sunshine of the day
Something out there, weren’t right
Darkness of night, snapping at our heals
Nothing was right, nothing to see
Skinful of dust, rise to the sea
Greed, swallowing up all of we
Just take what you give
Judge another by the way you live
Gonna take that tired old soul
Don’t you know
I’m waiting for the sunshine of the day
To dry all my tears, cause of so so much sorrow
Take my wiry old soul, and pass it on through to tomorrow
To tomorrow, Take my weary old soul
Lights went out then came judgement day
stomping its heals and waiting for the sunshine of the day
Something out there, weren’t right
The darkness of night, was snapping at our heels
Nothing seems right, nothing to see
Skinful of dust, rise to the sea
Greed, swallowing up all of we
Just take what you give
Judge another by the way you live
Gonna take that tired old soul
Don’t you know
Waiting for the sunshine of the day
To dry all my tears, cause of so so much sorrow
Take my wiry old soul, and pass it on through to tomorrow
pass it on through to tomorrow, Take my wiry old soul
Just take what you give, Judge another by the way you live
Gonna take that tired old soul, Don’t you know
I said just take what you give, Judge another by the way
you live
Gonna take that tired old soul, Don’t you know
What you give, what you give
Just take what you give
And pass that soul, and pass that soul onto tomorrow
Take it on to tomorrow, pass it through to tomorrow
Dragging its heals and waiting for the sunshine of the day
Something out there, weren’t right
Darkness of night, snapping at our heals
Nothing was right, nothing to see
Skinful of dust, rise to the sea
Greed, swallowing up all of we
Just take what you give
Judge another by the way you live
Gonna take that tired old soul
Don’t you know
I’m waiting for the sunshine of the day
To dry all my tears, cause of so so much sorrow
Take my wiry old soul, and pass it on through to tomorrow
To tomorrow, Take my weary old soul
Lights went out then came judgement day
stomping its heals and waiting for the sunshine of the day
Something out there, weren’t right
The darkness of night, was snapping at our heels
Nothing seems right, nothing to see
Greed, swallowing up all of we
Just take what you give
Judge another by the way you live
Gonna take that tired old soul
Don’t you know
Waiting for the sunshine of the day
To dry all my tears, cause of so so much sorrow
Take my wiry old soul, and pass it on through to tomorrow
pass it on through to tomorrow, Take my wiry old soul
Just take what you give, Judge another by the way you live
Gonna take that tired old soul, Don’t you know
I said just take what you give, Judge another by the way
you live
Gonna take that tired old soul, Don’t you know
What you give, what you give
Just take what you give
And pass that soul, and pass that soul onto tomorrow
Take it on to tomorrow, pass it through to tomorrow

The song has a very positive attitude of accepting the whole process of life and death and still giving part of one's soul to the coming tomorrow, allowing one's self to live as long as God wishes and with the whole world empathetically. Lights went out is a lyrical journey marked by despair, angst, heartbreak, social commentary, and reflection.
