Walk alone on a road last night
Met a man named Blue
He was lost in a diner light
I was lost there too
He offered me his window
He offered me his bed
I declined and held the line
And this is what he said

"Dark days are coming
So the Bible says
You'll see them running
When the sky turns red
I know there's something
I can't put my finger on
Dark days are coming
And so, we owe this song"

Left alone in a hotel room
The night was turning cool
So bright in a diamond light
The angels cried and crooned
They offered me their vision
Of ghosts in every wall
I declined and held the line
And watched the angels fall

Dark days are coming
So the Bible says
You'll see them running
When the sky turns red
I know there's something
I can't put my finger on
Dark days are coming
And so, we owe this song

Wars and whores
And deadlines never met
Lores through doors
In bedtime stories read
What we were is over
And what we are is gone
When I look in your eyes
I don't want to sing this song

Dark days are coming
So the Bible says
You'll see them running
When the sky turns red
I know there's something
I can't put my finger on
Dark days are coming
And so, we owe this song
