[English]

Shadows fall over my heart

I black out the moon

I wait for you to come around

You got me dancing in the dark

Dancing in the dark

I've closed my eyes

But I won't sleep tonight

Baby, you should come with me

I'll take you to the dark side

Me and you

You and me

Do bad things in the night time

Baby, you should come with me

And we can kill the lights

Hit the lights with a blackout

Blackout

Hit the lights with a blackout

Blackout

Black bird, black moon

Black sky, black light

Black, everything black

Black heart, black keys, black diamonds

Blackout, black, everything black

Black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything, black

In a nocturnal state of mind

Children of the night

But it's the only way alive

This black hole's pulling me inside

Of this black heart,

The black soul

Underneath this black, black sky

Baby, you should come with me

I'll take you to the dark side

Me and you

You and me

Do bad things in the night time

Baby, you should come with me

And we can kill the lights

Hit the lights with a blackout

Blackout

Hit the lights with a blackout

Blackout

Black bird, black moon

Black sky, black light

Black, everything black

Black heart, black keys, black diamonds

Blackout, black, everything black

Black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything, black

Baby, you

Should come with me

Me and you

You and me

Baby, you

Should come with me

And we can kill the lights

Hit the lights with a blackout

Blackout

Hit the lights with a blackout

Blackout

Black bird, black moon

Black sky, black light

Black, everything black

Black heart, black keys, black diamonds

Blackout, black, everything black

Black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything, black
