"The Dark" lyrics

Robert Macfarlane, Johnny Flynn & Heloise Tunstall-Behrens & Auclair Lyrics

"The Dark"
(feat. Luisa Gerstein)

When the dark comes rising
Six will turn it back
Free from the circle, free from the track
Wood, bronze and iron
Water, fire and stone
Five will return
And one go alone

The dark
The dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
The dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising

Oh, the dark the dark is rising
Oh, the dark the dark is rising
