Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my hand and let me sleep
In the colours of your shadow
In the silence of the deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Free my mind from constant yearning
Towards the things I cannot see now
Towards the things I cannot see
Darkness, darkness, none amongst them
Is the day that brings my heaven
I have passed the edge of sadness
Now I hide the depth of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with endless night
Take away the pain of nowhere
Fill the emptiness inside
Fill the emptiness inside, oh
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my hand and let me sleep
In the colours of your shadow
In the silence of the deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Free my mind from constant yearning
Towards the things I cannot see
Towards the things I cannot see
Towards the things I cannot see
