Friends In The Dark – Voltaire

Lightning strikes and all of the animals scurry back to their holes
The million eyes of the nightmare jungle make you wish you weren’t alone
The trees might bite ’cause all of their bark is bending into sinister grins
You might be right if you think the horror is just about to begin

The night is falling, your faith is faltering and you’re alone
What’s your plan to survive when you find you’re alone in the dark?
You can pray to the Lord of the Light but you ain’t gonna get too far
You can sit in the cold, dark night and just hope for a spark
You might make your way in the day but you’ll need friends in the dark

Shapes emerge from the shadows and they’re coming from every way
From the black of the briar they’re howling hungry
How will you keep them at bay?
Your blood runs cold, a chill like a knife is cutting right into your veins
Fear takes hold, you pray it’s the wind when you hear someone whisper your name

The night is calling, your faith is faltering and you’re alone
What’s your plan to survive when you find you’re alone in the dark?
You can pray to the Lord of the Light but you ain’t gonna get too far
You can sit in the cold, dark night and just hope for a spark
You might make your way in the day but you’ll need friends in the dark
And while you can manage a smile under that big, warm yellowy star
You might be alright in the light but you’ll need friends in the dark

Hey now what’s it gonna be?
You need a guide, so how ’bout me
Why, I could show the way around
I’m not afraid, hey, what’s that sound?
Surely, you know it’s no good to trek alone into the woods
What could be better than a guide that’s scarier than what’s inside?
Don’t go! Don’t dare go… in there alone! Alone!

What’s your plan to survive when you find you’re alone in the dark?
You can pray to the Lord of the Light but you ain’t gonna get too far
You can sit in the cold, dark night and just hope for a spark
You might make your way in the day but you’ll need friends in the dark
And while you can manage a smile under that big, warm yellowy star
You might be alright in the light… but you’ll need friends in the dark
