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... 

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo x4

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...
