Dark Days

The sun has a solar flare

The earth just tilted on its axis

The demon lies in his lair

And licks at the Goddess Abraxas

Volcanoes long, long dormant

Send up plumes of gas

An India and Pakistan

Start talking trash

In these dark days, dark

Let's walk to the nearest cliff

Let's walk to the river

But there's been a seismic shift

I felt the whole earth quiver

Let's hold the party we said we would

I'm always whole

And me with their blood on my hands

And you with their gold

In these dark, dark, dark days

In these dark days, um dark

Your conscience is worthless here

Go peddle it under the street lights

The hubris of love you carry

Is attracting a swarm of meat flies

Brandish, brandish your weapon, baby

Sharpen your sharpest knives

If you're not the king or the queen

You're just a working for the hive

In these dark, dark, dark days

In these dark, dark days

Dark, dark, dark

Dark, dark, dark days

Well, well, well

The sun has a solar flare

The earth just tilted on its axis

The demon lies in his lair
