lyrics
9. Don´t Blame The Darkness
You´ll blame the darkness for stripping you of sight
When the road fades out before you, you blame it on the night
Don´t blame the darkness don´t blame the darkness
For there is no evil that is more than just an absence of light
You´ll blame the serpent for feeding you a line
His mortal sting is surely just a frank exchange of time
Don´t blame the serpent don´t blame the serpent
For there is no evil that a man could not conceive in his own mind
I´ll open doors for you
I´ll mop the floors for you
And if you´re sleeping I may rattle you awake
My words may move through you
But I can not prove to you
That the serpent´s just an ordinary snake
You´ve got a name tag and a collar and a carnal urge to kill
I´ve got to dig me up a dollar to afford my own free will
Don´t blame the darkness don´t blame the darkness
For there is no evil that a healthy dose of light would not reveal
