Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We started looking for you
In the darker caves
We had a lot of love we thought
Would light the way
[Verse 2]
We saw the wrecks of buildings
And ships that sank in starlight
We saw the ghosts of angels
That spoke of falls from tremendous heights
[Verse 3]
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
[Verse 4]
We saw you old flames
And some were burning yet
It made us smile to see
Just how well tended each was kept
[Verse 5]
But other fires were burning too
And I saw the battlefields
The dying Light Brigade
Stretched out upon the wheel
[Verse 6]
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
[Verse 7]
Every heart is much the same
We tell ourselves down here
The same same chambers fed by veins
The same maze of love and fear
[Verse 8]
We thought you were a saint
But the halo was an eye
It's hard to see how there could be
So much dark inside the light
[Verse 9]
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
[Verse 10]
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
