about

Like "Rock n Roll" this song was recorded earlier, in 1995. I added real drums and fixed keyboard and vocal parts in spots and re-mixed for this project. The lyric is based on the book of Joel in the Old Testament.

lyrics

DARK DAYS

Walking down the street in the setting sunlight
Trying really hard not to just break down and cry
Sewing all the seeds of our own destruction
Living in the shadow of the fruit that’s come to life
Children dying by their parents hand
Woman wants woman and man wants man
That wasn’t in the plan

CHORUS
DARK DAYS - Memories will fade into these
DARK DAYS - Holiness charade descending
DARK DAYS - Do we have a prayer with things this way?

Hanging by a thread of my own conviction
Do I have the nerve to stand and scream out loud?
Would I bend an ear? Would it make a difference?
Does anybody care that the house is falling down?
Total apathy or so it seems
The youth have visions and the old ones dream
Somebody’s got to see

CHORUS
DARK DAYS - Can you feel the warning in these?
DARK DAYS - Raging like a storm and sending
DARK DAYS - We don’t have a prayer with things this way
…Need a better day

BRIDGE
Where is the heart that beat in us?
Is it dead or only sleeping?
Where is the faith in God we trust?
Surely righteous men are seeking Him…

CHORUS
DARK DAYS - The sun and moon are lost behind these
DARK DAYS - Even stars withhold their shining
DARK DAYS - Sending up a prayer to know the way
…We need a better day

DARK DAYS…DARK DAYS…
