I move through the crowd at a slow, steady pace,
No crooked old man, just a face in the space.
I'm common, just a man lost from light,
But touch me not, with your hand or your sight.
Listen... and heed what I say.
I am Darkness!
I can halt the drum inside your chest.
I am Darkness!
None is more terrible — I confess.
You'll live exactly as long as I command.
I know your son is fading, your will to live is gone.
Hear me, hear me, bear the pain, and struggle on.
Now lead me to your door, don't hesitate or stall.
Pray to me in hope — you know, you trust I'll heal him after all.
I am Darkness!
I can halt the drum inside your chest.
I am Darkness!
None is more terrible — I confess.
I take or I give — no less.
See now, your boy is well, the sickness swept away.
Leave him here behind us, come with me, don't stray.
You got what you demanded, so why do you weep?
Take my hand in yours now, your soul is mine to keep!
I am Darkness!
I can halt the drum inside your chest.
I am Darkness!
None is more terrible — I confess.
You'll live exactly as long as I command.
I am Darkness!
