Chords for Dustin Kensrue - In The Darkness [With Commentary]

_ _ _ Darkness is often used as a symbol of evil.
_ It's equally [C#] apt at representing the unknown. _
There's a fear attached to that kind of darkness, but it's of a different [G#] kind than the fear
of evil.
Think of an ancient ship, sailing through the [F#] night, no moon to see by, and
no stars by which to know their way.
Are they sailing too far from land, or maybe [C] much too
close?
Or think of a man [A#m] feeling his way through the blackness of a cave.
When he reaches out
his hand, [G#] what will it encounter next?
Empty air?
[G#] A solid wall?
[D#] Something living?
[F#] _ That's
the darkness of the unknown, and in that sense of the word, [Cm] I think we live in an age of
darkness, an age of [G#] uncertainty, an age where belief is [C#] hard to come by, and even harder to hold.

[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] I'm always running scared, [F#] through an endless night, the [A#m] moon is just a memory, [C#] running
faint for life.
But when I close my eyes, [F#] sometimes I dare to dream, but it's true,
[A#m] nobody cares for me, [F#] no one's there with me.
[C#] In darkness, _ _ _ _ [A#m] in darkness, _
[C#] _ _ _ it's time to holler to them, [F#] to hear their echo back, and clutch
[A#m] it like some ancient rope, [C#] the word off the black, and the wolves joining, _ [F#] I hold my breath
and shake, it's true, [A#m] nobody cares for me, [F#] no one's there with me.
[C#] In darkness, _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] in darkness, _
[C#] _ _ _ in _ darkness, _ _ it's true, [A#m] nobody cares for me, no [C#] one's there.
And [G#] I'm standing here, beneath that great abyss, staring up, [F#] I feel my legs get weighed,
I feel a ghostly kiss, [G#] I hear the hidden stars, sing out the warmth you'll [Fm] meet, singing [F#] that
you care for me, and you're there with me.
[C#] In the darkness, [C#] but I'm always running scared, [A#m] in the darkness, [C#] could it be you're really
there, in the darkness, there's more than I could ever dare to dream, [A#m] that you care for
me, and [F#] you're there with me, [C#] in the darkness, _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [A#m] in the darkness. _ _
[C#] _ _ _ In the darkness, _
[F#] _ _ _ [A#m] you care for me, are [F#] you there?
_ God. _ _
