Who would think

That all these thoughts with which we played

All the choices we have made

Would get us here

The world we live in's awfully dark

And we could blame it on our heart

Cause aren't we all just like the criminals

Who trick their minds to justify what's in their head

When the darkness comes

Don't betray yourself

Don't betray yourself for it

Cause the darkness isn't out to do you well

When the darkness comes

Don't betray yourself

Don't betray yourself for it

'Cause the darkness isn't out to do you well

I know you know what you're thinking

I know you know that it ain't good

Don't you think it's odd

Don't you think it's strange

That after all this time the world is filled with hate

When the darkness comes

Don't betray yourself

Don't betray yourself for it

'Cause the darkness isn't out to do you well

When the darkness comes

With a tempting thought

Don't betray us all for it

'Cause the darkness only comes to bring us hell
