Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sky is a sea of darkness
When there is no sun
The sky is a sea of darkness
When there is no sun to light the way
When there is no sun to light the way
[Verse 2]
There is no day
There is no day
There's only darkness
Eternal sea of darkness
[Verse 3]
The sky is a sea of darkness
When there is no sun
The sky is a sea of darkness
When there is no sun to light the way
When there is no sun to light the way
[Verse 4]
There is no day
There is no day
There's only darkness
Eternal sea of darkness
[Verse 5]
The sky is a sea of darkness
When there is no sun
The sky is a sea of darkness
When there is no sun to light the way
When there is no sun to light the way
[Verse 6]
There is no day
There is no day
There's only darkness
Eternal sea of darkness
Eternal sea of darkness
Eternal sea of darkness
Eternal sea of darkness...
