We Prayed In the Dark

This is no Shangri-La
No paradise or Eden
This is where the tarot cards
Show Jesus Christ a heathen

The life and the spark had gone
The light and the stars had shone
We stayed in the dark too long

If they kiss in the dark, yeah
They miss all the talk, yeah
If it's twisted or hot, yeah
This is the hot dance

The life and the spark had gone
The light and the stars had shone
We stayed in the dark too long

I hope I'm wrong
But the nights are drawing in
Hope I'm wrong
But the air is getting thin
Hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong

Hide the devil's angels
Sing of darker, stranger things
Hide the devil's angels
Hear them sing

Right from the start, yeah
Right from the start
Life was stripped and apart, yeah
Life drifted apart

We played in the dark
Afraid of the dark
We sailed on the ark
And we swam with the sharks
And we stayed in the dark too long

I hope I'm wrong
But the nights are drawing in
Hope I'm wrong
But the air is getting thin
Hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong

La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
