Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The candles gutter low
My hands have grown so cold
I hear a voice that knows my name
It calls me from the fold
[Pre-Chorus]
And every door I barricade
It finds another way
And every prayer I ever prayed
Dissolves into the gray
[Chorus]
When the darkness calls I answer
When the darkness calls I go
Through the shadows and the silence
To the places none should know
When the darkness calls I answer
When the darkness calls my soul
I have nothing left to bargain
I have given up control
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh)
(Come to me)
(Oh-oh)
(Come to me)
[Verse 2]
My father warned me long ago
Of voices in the night
My mother wept and held me close
And begged me toward the light
[Pre-Chorus]
But blood remembers what we hide
And hunger never sleeps
It waits beneath the quiet tide
For promises we keep
[Chorus]
When the darkness calls I answer
When the darkness calls I go
Through the shadows and the silence
To the places none should know
When the darkness calls I answer
When the darkness calls my soul
I have nothing left to bargain
I have given up control
[Bridge]
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I have always been
A creature of the shade
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
The voice that calls me home
Is the one that I have made
[Chorus]
When the darkness calls I answer
When the darkness calls I go
Through the shadows and the silence
To the places none should know
When the darkness calls I answer
When the darkness calls my soul
I have nothing left to bargain
I have given up control
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh)
(Come to me)
(Oh-oh)
(Come to me)
[Chorus]
When the darkness calls I answer
When the darkness calls I go
I have given up control
I have given up control
