Walkin' in the valley, the shadow of death
Overcoming evil with good
Hangin' all the time on a fine line
But I'm doin' all the things I should
I've gotta fight on if I'm gonna make it
Try to keep the victory in sight
The Devil's out to get me, I'm shakin' in my shoes
When I'm losing the spiritual fight

I cry, "Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling!"

Tell me what you want me to do
I send up a flare in the form of a prayer
"Jesus, won't you hurry!"
He appears on the fog with the angels of God
And tells me not worry
"It was seen as a loss when I died on the cross,
Just another execution.
But I'm back from the dead, captivity is being led
Let there be no mortal confusion."

He cries, "Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling through!"

He cries, "Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling through!"

The powers of Hell will not prevail
The Light of the world will cause its falling
There's nothing to fear, death has no sting
The armies of God will make freedom ring!

(Darkness is falling)
The powers of Hell will not prevail
(Darkness is falling)
The Light of the world will cause its falling
(Darkness is falling)
There's nothing to fear, death has no sting
(Darkness is falling)
The armies of God will make freedom ring

Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling,
Darkness is falling through!

Tell me what you want me to do
(Gotta fight on if you're gonna make it)
I said, darkness is falling
(Tell me what you want me to do)
Darkness is falling
Darkness is falling
(Gotta fight on if you're gonna make it)
Darkness is falling
(Tell me what you want me to do)
I cry, darkness is falling through
Darkness is falling through
(Gotta fight on if you're gonna make it)
Darkness is falling
T-t-tell me what you want me to do
(Gotta fight on if you're gonna make it)
T-t-tell me what you want me to do
(Gotta fight on if you're gonna make it)
