INTRO: Play Riff 1 - 4x

Don't you ask me to come out
out when the sun does shine
Gonna stay here with curtains drawn
in darkness you'll be mine

Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Well welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through
With darkness closing in, my friend
We both know what to do

Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night
Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright

Come roam with me upon this earth
Keep us both alive

Light only brings in fear
There's nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here
At first you may find it strange
But do not go away
The darkness holds a power that you
wont find in the day
