  F#                  B
Across the desert of the burning dark, a
           B                 F#
Darkness which illuminates you
There's a place you've always wanted to be
Whose pleasures always did escape you
It's always been so out of reach, nothing, so near
Ever felt so far
And now it's here within your grasp, a never
Ending burning says it all

Chorus:
         D
As you drive into the darkness,
in front the future
                F#
Behind you history
 D
Caught alone in the dark night, do you think
                                F#
That's the way it's supposed to be
     D                           E
You don't believe your eyes, cos all they see is
          F#
Lies, oh yeah

You better run from the holy man, the eyes that
Will are set up on you
Listen not to verse and prayer, songs that thrill
And voices tempt you
The inner flame has fear of death, never, has
Light ever seemed so dark
Pilgrims of sabbocracy, hear the hounds of
Heaven, as they bark

Chorus:
As you drive into the darkness,
in front the future
Behind you history
Caught alone in the dark night, do you think
That's the way it's supposed to be
You don't believe your eyes, cos all they see is
Lies, oh yeah

I witness a time and a place that never dies, still
Frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide, I
Witness, a dream

Chorus:
As you drive into the darkness,
in front the future
Behind you history
Caught alone in the dark night, do you think
That's the way it's supposed to be
You don't believe your eyes, cos all they see is
Lies, oh yeah

F#           B                               F#
I witness a time and a place that never dies, still
           G
Frozen in time
This darkness the only place that I can hide, I
Witness, a dream
Oh, just a dream
