In the darkest times
Darkest fears are heard
And from the safest [bad word] the bravest words
Some make a quiet life
To keep this
Scared old world at bay
The dogs are howling on the street outside
So they close the curtains, hope they go away
And it's pressure from all [bad word] down around our ears
Stuck in this room without a door
Scratched away at the walls for years
All we've got to show is the dust on the floor
And here [bad word]  a new dark age 

I catch your eyes
Before they fall to the ground [bad word] out of time, breath and steam [bad word] down
They're burning witches
Up on punishment hill
Dying proof in the power of autority
To exact it's will
And we've broken our fingers
Broken our faith
Broken our hearts so many times
They can't be broken anymore
Scratched away at the walls for years
All we've got to show is the dust on the floor
And here [bad word]  a new dark age
Here [bad word] ...
