1) Somewhere in the tangle of the years I’ve left behind
Are the voices that still whisper, locked inside my mind
People chanting in the rain back in nineteen sixty-nine
It was peace that we were after, but it was hard to find in darkness
2) I remember all the flaming times we struggled for our own
And we took our anger to the streets in a way we’d never known
But it still took years to end the war, so many boys never came back home
And it shattered our illusions and the seeds of doubt were sown in darkness
Chorus
Darkness, darkness, it has followed
Bridge
And the years have passed and the winds have changed but the rain’s still coming down
Another night has fallen but you know we’re still around
And we’re not afraid, we’ve been here before and we recognize the sound of darkness
Chorus
3) Well it seems like wars are everywhere, there’s more killin’ every day
The old men still speak of victory but that’s not what the children say
The future’s theirs to laugh and love, and that’s too high a price to pay
So it’s time we change the rules of the game ‘cause we’re not about to play with darkness
