[English]

We're not in love We share no stories

Just something in your eyes Don't be afraid

The shadows know me Let's leave the world behind

Take me through the night Fall into the dark side

We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side

I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

Fall into the dark side Give into the dark side

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

Beneath the sky As black as diamonds

We're running out of time (Time, time) Don't wait for truth

To come and blind us Let's just believe their lies

Believe it, I see it I know that you can feel it

No secrets worth keeping So fool me like I'm dreaming

Take me through the night Fall into the dark side

We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side

I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

Fall into the dark side Give into the dark side

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

Take me through the night Fall into the dark side

We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side

I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side
