Come gather round all you travelling souls
for a tale I have to tell
On the lies you feed from the devil's machine
It will send you straight to hell
It'll drag you kicking and screaming
Embrace the father of the night
Pray the Darkness be our savior
for the victims of the light
Yes the sparks of lies are damnation
And you know I'm always right
Crave the lamps that burn above this world
I can see it in your eyes
And you thought that you were dreaming
But you're only going blind
Pray the nightkeepers keep you safe my child
You're the victims of the light
Darkest oath
Take me home
and baptise our hearts of stone
Darkest oath
Take me home
spake the shepherd of our souls
Does your hunger grow from the bra**-bound man
Claws his fingers at the sky
When he touched the stars and he craves the dawn
It's a sickness of his mind
And somewhere in the future,
Where we all will join the night
You will curse the sun that failed you
Now the victims of the light
Darkest oath
Take me home
and baptise our hearts of stone
Darkest oath
take me home
spake the shepherd of our souls
Congregation's Retort:
Daylight a distant memory,
Shadows all around,
The darkness consumes us,
We are lost in the crowd.
The preacher he tells us,
Of the sins of the past
We no longer listen
will the sickness last?
This is shadowma**.
We all live in fear
Fear the morning star
keep your conscience clear
Whispers of daylight
We dream of the sun,
The future is clearer
What has begun?
The preacher he tricks us
With fear and with hate
We no longer listen
And soon will escape.
This is shadowma**.
We all live in fear
Fear the morning star
keep your conscience clear
Come forth my friends, let the lamps grow dim
pray the wheel keeps turning on
Pray for nuclear war, and what came before
from a time we don't belong
And you see this world as children
And you place your hope in I
You can feel the night surround you
Sleep the victims of the light
