Darkness Calling
Lyrics and Music by Dave Wright
©2020

I’ve roamed and rambled, I’ve followed footsteps,
Of the down trodden, and the broken hearted.
I’ve worked my way around this great big planet,
From its windswept valleys to its dirty cities.
And all the time it calls me, the darkness calls me,
Calls me back home.

I’ve drunk with devils, and laid with harlots,
Gambled in temples, and worshipped idols.
I’ve followed orders from blood- thirsty tyrants,
I’ve marched with armies through ransacked empires.
And still it calls me, the darkness calls me,
Calls me back home.

And all I know, that when it’s time to go,
I’ll see it through, like I always do
With no shining lights, no heavenly choirs,
Just the abyss yawning, with the world in mourning,
It’s the darkness calling, the darkness calling,
Calling me back home.

In all my travels down through the ages,
There’s been one thing that brings me comfort.
That despite my best of intentions,
Mankind will find a way to resurrect things.
But still it calls you, the darkness calls you,
Calls you back home.

So all I know, that when it’s time to go,
You’ll see it through, like you always do,
With no shining lights, no heavenly choirs,
Just the abyss yawning, with the whole world burning,
It’s the darkness calling, the darkness calling,
Calling you back home
Calling you back home.
