I Can See The Darkness Lyrics

I Can See The Darkness
i see the darkness when i open up my eyes - strangling all the light that used to shine.
i see the darkness where it always used to hide
naked on the flesh of every heart as black as night.
i see the darkness
where it never used to be.
clouded by my ignorance i chose to disbelieve.
i see the darkness.
it was always by my side
but now it's not ashamed to take its stride.

i can see the darkness.
oh i used to see the light.
darkness when the scales fall from my eyes.
i see the darkness.
can't clear it from my mind.
close my eyes it's almost time. close my eyes it's almost time.

i see the darkness
rolling over like a cloud
just before the thunder crashes down.
i see the darkness.
watch it move across the ground - overwhelms the exiles as they mourn the deathly sound.
i see the darkness.
it marches like a troop -
legions in an army pulling off the final coup.
i see the darkness
like a flood consumes the land -
shadows on the faces of the damned.

i can see the darkness
where i used to see the light.
darkness when the scales fall from my eyes.
i see the darkness.
can't clear it from my mind.
close my eyes it's almost time. close my eyes it's almost time.
close my eyes it's almost time.
it's almost time.

i can see the darkness.
oh i used to see the light.
darkness when the scales fall from my eyes.
i see the darkness.
can't clear it from my mind.
close my eyes it's almost time. close my eyes.
