Darkness lyrics

I never knew how much you meant to me You were the ground I stood on But oh, I battled for ages Fought what I thought you were Suddenly it’s clear what I’ve wasted I shut you out and shut you off Oh, I ripped out the pages Cut where I thought it would hurt The darkness and the light The morning and the night I built up an altar to stop you Stone upon stone in the sand I laid you down like you were a killer I stretched out a murderous hand The darkness and the light The morning and the night My darkness and my light The morning and the night
