(Verse 1)\nWhen the light begins to fade,\nAnd the silence starts to grow,\nThere’s a comfort in the shade,\nIn the places no one knows.\n\nShadows whisper like old friends,\nTelling stories with no end,\nI walk the path I understand,\nWith darkness holding my hand.\n\n(Chorus)\nDarkness, my friend, you see me true,\nWhen no one else knows what I’ve been through.\nYou're the calm in my endless storm,\nThe silent night where I feel warm.\n\nDarkness, my friend, I’m not afraid,\nOf all the ghosts that memories made.\nYou're the truth they try to bend...\nYou're my beginning, my end.\n\n(Verse 2)\nThey say fear is what you bring,\nBut you taught me how to sing,\nNot of pain, but of my fire,\nBorn from loss and deep desire.\n\nThrough the cracks you found my soul,\nFilled the void and made me whole.\nWhere they saw a shattered heart,\nYou saw poetry in the dark.\n\n(Chorus)\nDarkness, my friend, you see me true,\nWhen no one else knows what I’ve been through.\nYou're the calm in my endless storm,\nThe silent night where I feel warm.\n\nDarkness, my friend, I’m not afraid,\nOf all the ghosts that memories made.\nYou're the truth they try to bend...\nYou're my beginning, my end.\n\n(Bridge)\nLight may blind and burn away, \nbut you taught me how to stay. \nWhen the world won’t let me mend, \nyou remind me: break and bend... \n(Final Chorus) Darkness, my friend, stay by my side,

in your silence,

I won’t hide.

You're the voice I always send,

to guide me home,

again and again...

Darkness,

my friend...

till the end.
