There is a darkness that rolls on slowly They say it binds the hearts of many
And when that darkness comes a calling It will lead you down and bleed you dry
Some people run and try to hide
Some folks stay and let it take its toll Some people try, try to fight it
And other folks, well they just ride
And I gambled and I lost
I took the cards and played
A hand that wasn't mine
And I wonder what kind of monster Could lead me down, could lead me down Could lead me blind, and never let me go
Some folks carry a heavy burden
With nowhere to lay their burden down And some folks wander with no reason And other folks, well they just slide
There's a darkness and it's growing
It has no reason and it has no rhyme
And when that darkness comes a calling It will lead you down and bleed you dry
