These Dark Days

Everything is dead, the past left behind Saw three pretty women weeping in line Holy Bible in the drawer, sleeping on the floor Waiting for the news of the comin' war I don't know what to say I don't care anyway It seems that we're heading towards darker days Lovers caught in a valley, with nowhere to stay A leader resigns - a town separates A mother hangs her child, with old shoestring Some sisters gettin' married, some are missing rings I've been sleeping in the gutter For most of my life It seems that we're heading towards darker times Don't know where they'll put ya I don't know where you'll go All I can tell ya, darlin' Is you'll never be alone Power Mad gettin' stronger, all sense is lost You can have your Island - what are the costs? In the Land of the Free, only some allowed Not if you wear white bowing down in a crowd These times are strange What else can ya say? It seems that we're heading towards darker days I fell in love with a singer - her hair long and black Is there any chance of another attack? For everything is broken, it's no big surprise Nothing is permanent - someday we'll die I was taught to go to church Hold tears in my eyes But it seems that we're heading towards darker times Don't know what'll happen Let's see if we cry But I know we take for granted Every single sunrise In the Tennessee mountains, it's where I like to stay Hide from the world - try to stay away For everyone is mourning, for a brother's friend Hey 62 million, is this how it ends? I've loved too many times To ask her to stay It seems that we're heading towards darker days
