| When I was born, I shamed the dawn
|
| I saw the angels cry
|
| I raised my arms and made the stars tremble in the sky
|
| When I sang, the choirs were humbled
|
| When I danced, the mountains crumbled
|
| I chased the waves back into the sea
|
| I feasted on the fatted calf, I drank whole cities dry
|
| I made the devil dance for me, I spat into his eye
|
| I said, «So long Jack, we hardly knew you
|
| Here’s to hell, and hallelujah
|
| Take this rock and shake it 'til it bleeds»
|
| 'cause these are dark days indeed
|
| These are dark days indeed
|
| These are, dark days, dark days
|
| These are dark days indeed
|
| We don’t know who put this cup of life into our hands
|
| But when we go, our bones will bake on the burning sands
|
| 'cause we walk but once among the living
|
| So no regrets, and no forgiving
|
| It’s hard to dance when you’re down upon your knees
|
| 'cause these are dark days indeed
|
| These are dark days indeed
|
| These are, dark days, dark days
|
| These are dark days indeed |
