lyrics

The dark is lethal when it's wild
The young more poisonous
Like the vipers child
The young, the inexperienced
The wild, the untamed
Uncontrollable and has no name

I may be old
But I'm wise my friend
My old demons will guard me until the end
Make no mistake, this cannot mend
Darkness always will ascend

The older, the wiser
The tamed, the friend
But what you call darkness has no end
It's just there, by your side
And makes you safer
Through the coming night

Dogs were once wolves
Man's best friend
Was the dark and unknown
Long ago, for all men

Dance with the dark
And catch it's tail
It will bite you
If you should fail
Play with fire
The consequences dire
For the careless
It will be their death
But if you succeed
They'll be your friend
The darkness doesn't have to end
If it guards you from stranger men

You have learnt each other's steps
And you move together in fluid motion
Of the bright, you take no notion
The bright, its light, it stings your eyes
You've never been comfortable in white
But in the dark you feel alive

Dark and grey walk side by side (side by side)
None of us have to hide (unified)
We are companions of the night
