You wonder why we curse the darkness? Because it's there The thing about the darkness, the darkness doesn't care You say we shouldn't curse the darkness that makes us blind I wouldn't worry for the darkness, the darkness doesn't mind No, it don't mind He who says to light a candle must be selling the spark You can keep your feeble candle, we'll keep cursing the dark You say we're skeptics and we're cynics?
We'll play along It's true we may be cynics, but we're not wrong No, we're not wrong Why light a single candle? What could it show? At least we know when things can't get much worse And we don't need light to see the things we're cursing now He who says to light a candle must be selling the spark You can keep your feeble candles, we'll keep cursing the darkness We'll keep cursing the dark
