Jon Oliva’s Pain - The Dark

From Jon Oliva’s Pain first album, ’Tage Mahal (2004). Track 01, The Dark Lyrics: The smoke from my last cigarette Disappears into the lights Waiting on something to make this feeling right I twist and moan, and turn the other cheek I wait for my moment to be free I’m not alone I’m not alone The night is black it twists and turns Inside it’s agony It waits for you, it waits for me, in all its majesty I can feel it, I can hear it, I can see it Slowly coming closer to me now It’s breathing, heart is beating, thoughts misleading Reality has somehow broken down Slowly slips away, slips into the grave I don’t think I’ll ever, ever, ever get away Somehow save our souls, as the darkness calls, From beyond these walls I feel something’s going wrong The dark descends upon this World of anger, hate and greed Surrounding you, engulfing me Now all that we can see Lying, cheating, children bleeding Mothers pleading Will you stop it, will you stop it now Can you feel it, do you hear it
