The moon is out tonight
The stars are very bright

That it’s like we’re in a dream

When we wake to the sun
But then we realise
The nightmare’s always here

Oh let’s hide away
Let us hide away
Hide away in here

The streets are always still
The outside it could kill
We watch in horror
At the news on our TVs

How long before it’s through
We can feel every breath
As we cry and hide and scream

Verse 1
Over the open seas
Following silver gulls
Darkness is following
Below it and above
A ship of dying fools
Waiting as darkness comes
Chorus
A darkness coming to take you away
A darkness you can’t see or feel
A darkness coming for you and me
A darkness you didn’t know was real
Verse 2
A traveller walks away
Trying to leave behind
The dying and the dead
They’re struggling to breathe
It was always by their side
The darkness following
Chorus
Verse 3
Trapped inside our homes
Watching for the signs
Waiting all alone
Frightened all the time
Will the darkness lift
Will we see the light

Verse 1
They say it’s coming over the air and sea
We’re trapped inside, nothing to do, nowhere to be
Everyday is the same. Watching the sun rise and fall
Scared and bored, waiting for darkness to come
Chorus
Feels like the sky is falling. Falling in
Feels like the sky is falling. Falling in
Feels like the sky is falling. Falling in
Falling in
Verse 2
Waking to this horror. Day after day
Boredom has set in. Fear won’t go away
Wake to a silent world. People are gone
Wanting familiar faces. Feel so alone
Chorus
Verse 3
Everyone’s in a mask. All so afraid
Keep your distance outside. Try to stay safe
Want to escape the boredom. Too scared to try
Want to see beach and ocean and different skies

No one’s outside any more
Every day just like the last
Don’t know when this will pass

Just want an escape
Like a train stuck at a station
All trapped in isolation

When we were all free
To roam ‘round the country
And do as we please

All missing something
We didn’t now that we had

The cities are bare
Less people pass by me
Sometimes no one is there

When it will be the same
But I wonder sometimes
Maybe it has all changed
