Tell me,
What is in the dark?
What is in the dark,
That deceivers lure
And receivers of passion cure?
Just tell me,
What is in the dark?
What is in the dark,
That things which cannot be done plainly
Are boldly done mainly?
What at all is in the dark?
What is in the dark,
That is so frightening
That it fears lightning
And must be concealed or turns threatening?
Tell me now
For me to bow
To the true convincer now
Because I cannot fathom how
And still have to shout wow!
When the abominations are uncovered and true men are caught in abysmal vows
Caused by whispers of the dark.
