Dark Signals

Verse 1

Shadows shift behind the pines

Every rustle has a name

Park benches empty after nine

Streetlights flicker out in shame

Something's keeping watch below

Eyes like embers in the frost

Waiting for the signal glow

Every one of them is lost

Pre-Chorus

The mothership is holding still

Beyond the ring of satellites

When it pulses through the hills

They'll awaken for the night

Chorus

They lurk in every dark place

Awaiting the command

The vessel hides in outer space

To take this promised land

They're crawling through our blind spots

They're breathing in the cold

And when the sky splits open

We'll be the ones they fold

Drop

Crawling through the blind spots

Breathing in the cold

Verse 2

Forgotten trails and cul-de-sacs

Cellars dripping with the damp

Church bells trembling in the cracks

Every doorway is a trap

They know the routes we think are safe

They counted every step we make

Patience is their favorite blade

Humanity's a mistake

Pre-Chorus

The mothership is drawing near

Behind the mask of falling stars

Any moment now I fear

They'll begin the final war

Chorus

They lurk in every dark place

Awaiting the command

The vessel hides in outer space

To take this promised land

They're crawling through our blind spots

They're breathing in the cold

And when the sky splits open

We'll be the ones they fold

Bridge

(They're coming)

(They're coming)

Listen to the ground

(They're coming)

(They're coming)

Not a single sound

Drop

They crawl beneath the moonlight

They wait behind the trees

They crawl beneath the moonlight

They wait behind the trees

Chorus

They lurk in every dark place

Awaiting the command

The vessel hides in outer space

To take this promised land

They're crawling through our blind spots

They're breathing in the cold

And when the sky splits open

We'll be the ones they fold
