Dark Days Indeed

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 Right 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
