We started looking for you 
In the darker caves 
We had a lot of love 
We thought would light the way 
We saw the wrecks of buildings 
And ships that sank in starlight 
We saw the ghosts of angels 
That spoke of falls from tremendous heights 

Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark

We saw your old flames 
And some were burning yet 
It made us smile to see 
Just how well tended each was kept 
But other fires were burning too 
And I saw the battlefields 
The dying Light Brigade 
Stretched out upon the wheel 

Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark

Every heart is much the same 
We tell ourselves down here 
The same chambers fed by veins 
The same maze of love and fear 
We thought you were a saint 
But the halo was an eye 
It's hard to see how there could be 
So much dark inside the light 

Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
Don't you leave us in the dark
