DARK - by Luke Sital Singh


There is a story behind this track which I cannot tell you at the moment ......







You are the dark of the world 
When all is brightness and dazzle 

You are a deepening mystery 
When life is a surfeit of simple solutions 

You are the nagging doubt and secret sceptic 
When everyone believes so much 

You are jangling discord, right out of tune 
When all the sounds are harmony 

You are abstract art of paint and poem 
When our propaganda makes everything clear 

You are parched throat, desert defeat 
When there’s water, water everywhere 

You are the silent absence, gone-missing god 
When the cacophony of belief is deafening 

You are uncharted journey, road less travelled 
When we’re all mapped-out. Been there, done that 

You are stranger in the night, throwing us to the ground 
When all we want to do is get away 

You are the cloud of unknowing 
When we know–it-alls, know it all 

You are never ready and take for ever 
When we want it now and cannot wait 

You are the dark of the world 
When all is brightness and dazzle
