Lyrics:

In the darkest times
Darkest fears are heard
From the safest places
Come the bravest words

Some make a quiet life
To keep this scared old world at bay
The dogs are howling on the street outside
So they close the curtains, hope they go away

And it's pressure from all sides
Coming down around our ears
Stuck in this room without a door
Scratched away at the walls for years
All we've got to show is the dust on the floor
And here it comes, a new dark age

I catch your eyes
Before they fall to the ground
We're running out of time, breath and steam
We're running down

They're burning witches
Up on punishment hill
Dying proof in the power of authority
To exact it's will

And it's pressure from all sides
Coming down around our ears
Stuck in this room without a door
Scratched away at the walls for years
All we've got to show is the dust on the floor
And we've broken our fingers
Broken our faith
Broken our hearts so many times
They can't be broken anymore
Scratched away at the walls for years
All we've got to show is the dust on the floor
And here it comes, a new dark age
Here it comes...

@GHBenny nothing left to do but fight back.

teach everyone your music and eliminate mediocrity.

you could also blow up a bunch of record company headquarters.

cool

[teethofghosts]

@GHBenny lol it's funny that you don't think there was generic music in the 80s. No one else's fault but your own if you can't enjoy music that was just made for fun or you can't delve further into modern music.

So annoyingly overrated

[vanhanegem57]

Probably my favourite sings of the best group of '80. It' a shame that only few person remember Borland (wonderful songwriter and musician) and Sound.

[scanner1978]

Here's the new dark age of humanity. here is the new dark age of information. Here's the new dark age of relationships.
