The Dark Will Swallow You Whole Lyrics

THE DARK CAN SWALLOW YOU WHOLE

Don't remember when I first heard these words

But I learned 'em long ago

Sounds like something my dad might of said

How the dark can swallow you whole

I read the goodbook a couple of times

Figured one day it'd save my soul

It said the same thing with different words

How the dark can swallow you whole

Well I read about that talkin' snake

With an apple long ago

He gave us temptation blocking out the light

That brought the dark that can swallow you whole

Brought the dark that can swallow you whole

Seems I was always doin' wrong

And most times I didn't know

There's be someone prayin' over me

To keep the dark from swallowing me whole

I heard about the struggle tween good and evil

Every since the world began

When the angel fell from heaven to hell

I learned about the original sin

Many times I saw friends of mine

Goin' down a perilous road

Past the point of no return

Where the dark could swallow 'em whole

Temptation can be like ridin' a cyclone

That you can never control

We think that we're invincible

Ending up where we shouldn't go

It's buried stronger men than me

Because of what they didn't know

Ahh...these words I heard when I was a kid

The dark can swallow you whole

Ahh...the dark can swallow you whole
