Well it's cold outside and you can't keep warm
In your military-issue goon uniform
And your belly's empty cause there's nothing to eat
And there's holes in the soles of the boots on your feet
And you're on a cigarette from the Bible you stole
From your lieutenant's room before you went out of patrol
But is that little red glow that's flickering in the night
The tip of your cigarette or is it a sniper sight?
Alright!
I know the dark, it will soon come
And swallow up almost everyone you've ever known
The dark, it will soon come
Yes, it swallowed up almost everyone
Well,
the first will be the last to do a dirty job
And the last will be the first to face the firing squad
And if everyone's a sinner I guess no one's getting saved
When the big man blows the pin on his holy hand grenade
I know the dark,
it will soon come And swallow up almost everyone you've ever known
The dark, it will
soon come Yes,
it swallowed up almost everyone you've ever known
The dark,
it will soon come Yes,
it swallowed up almost everyone
I know the dark,
it will soon come And swallow up almost everyone you've ever known
The dark,
it will soon come Yes,
it swallowed up almost everyone
