Darkness isn't out to do you well ♪ Who would think That all these thoughts with which we played All these choices we have made Would get us here? The world we live in's awfully dark And we could blame it on our heart 'Cause aren't we all just like the criminals Who trick their minds to justify what's in their head When the darkness comes don't betray yourself Don't betray yourself for it 'Cause the darkness isn't out to do you well When the darkness comes don't betray yourself Don't betray yourself for it 'Cause the darkness isn't out to do you well ♪ I know you know what you're thinkin' I know you know that it ain't good Don't you think it's odd? (Odd, odd, odd?) Don't you think it's strange? (Ay, ay, ay?) That after all this time the world is filled with hate ♪ When the darkness comes don't betray yourself Don't betray yourself for it 'Cause the darkness isn't out to do you well When the darkness comes with a tempting thought Don't betray us all for it 'Cause the darkness only comes to bring us hell
