Darkness lyrics: What can I say, baby What can I do What can I say, baby What can I do There’s no getting over Losing you Trials and tribulations Combine and take a toll Trials and tribulations Combine and take a toll And in the end, babe They took away my soul But a man must keep on fighting Everyday But a man must keep on fighting Everyday Only thing he can do Get on his knees and pray Darkness, darkness All she left for me Darkness, darkness All she left for me Broken hearted Left for dead you see I’m losing you Welcome to Red Grey Matter Club!
