lyrics

Trip Into Darkness

I'm no educated scientist
But I would say that it seems a bit strange to me
When the moon was clouded over
A gentle rain fell on the valley
A washing rain
A taking away rain
These tall figures standing in front of the fire knelt down
Without a thought
Without a care
And on cue a shooting star flew across the sky
And he remarked
It was probably the first shooting star I've actually ever really seen
They were amazed
They noticed time stopped

And I look up in the sky at the moon
The moon is full and bright
Brighter than it could ever be

No chance circumstance
No regard, second glance
Untold thoughts implode
Aphrodisia a la mode with this

One trip into darkness
Just a few steps away and close the door
One night of love
Temptation too great and well worth not waiting for

I know water flows
Out from your eyes onto your clothes
Old wounds no one knows
Leave behind, whatever goes

One trip into darkness
Just a few steps away and close the door
One night of love
Temptation too great and well worth not waiting for
One slip into madness
Before we even realize we're already there
Yeah
One trip into darkness
Just a few steps away, I'll take you there
C'mon now
One night of love
One trip into madness
I'll take you there
I know
I know water falls from your eyes onto your clothes
