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
