The blazing sun kisses the west
My heart is breaking in my chest
I feel the pain when twilight crawls
This is the end, my dearest friend
When darkness falls

There is a drum that beats for us
To lead us on beyond the dust
Where we belong once and for all
A place to run when kingdom comes
And darkness falls

(Chorus)

When darkness falls and kingdom comes
We'll stand up tall, we'll be the ones
To raise our hands when duty calls
I'm your man when kingdom comes and darkness falls

A day will come when all is lost
And on the waves we're tempest tossed
And when the world is all but gone
It will begin, a brand new dawn
The stars will fade out of the sky
The moon will turn and wave goodbye
Through all these acts and curtain calls
I'm wide awake to watch the gate
When darkness falls

(Chorus)

And when my rope is at it's end
You'll be my hope, you'll be my strength

There is a drum that beats for us
To lead us on beyond the rust
If you get lost inside these walls
I'll be the one to play the drum
When darkness falls

(Chorus)
