(D major) (F major) (G major) (A minor)
Verse 1
(D major) When they went to bed that night,
no (G major) one would have believed
(D major) That in the morning light
would not be there (F major) (G major) (A minor)
The (D major) dark hung heavy on the air
like the grip (G major) of a jealous man
No place (D major) was there known to have
been spared (F major) (G major) (A minor)
Then (G major) panic took control of minds
as (A minor) fear hit everyone
The day (B flat major) the light went (G major) (C minor) out
of (Baug) the daytime (B flat major) (A minor) sky (D major)

Verse 2
Artificial light (D major) could hardly
(G major) penetrate the gloom
Nothing out (D major) of reach could
be observed (F major) (G major) (A minor)
(D major) Looting, pillage, murder,
rape be (G major) came the rule of that day
Who (D major) hit him no one knew,
or whom he (F major) hit (G major) (A minor)
(G major) Cars were caught in pileups and
the (A minor) planes could never land
The (B flat major) day the light went (G major) (C minor) out of (Baug)
the daytime (B flat major) (Adim) sky
(D major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 3
(G minor)
"Now I can (B flat major) rest (G minor) here after my
journey (B flat major) (G minor) (A minor) (C major)
(G minor) Now I can (B flat major) feed here (G minor) before I con
(B flat major) tinue."
(G minor) (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
Verse 4
(D major)
(Dsus4) Some (D major) were there who's heads were clear who sought, (G major)
tried to find
The (D major) nature of this deadly foe,
(F major) the dark (G major) (A minor)
It (D major) seemed the sun was still somewhere,
though (G major) hidden from their sight
By (D major) something, though amorphous,
yet alive (F major) (G major) (A minor)
And so (G major) they looked for ways to rid
them (A minor) selves of the parasite
The (B flat major) day the light went (G major) (C minor) out of
(Baug) the (E flat major) day time (B flat major) (Adim) sky (D major)
Verse 5
"Now (C major) (D major) (G minor) I can (D minor)
rest (B flat major) (G minor) here after my
(D minor) jour (B flat major) ney (A minor) (B flat major) (G minor) (A minor) (C major) (G minor)
Now I can (B flat major) feed here (G minor) before I con
(B flat major) tinue."
(G minor) (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
Verse 6
(D major)
(Dsus4) They (D major) tried in many fruitless
ways to see (G major) the noonday sun
By (D major) blasting with their missiles
through the dark (F major) (G major) (A minor)
But soon (D major) a kind of sleepy
state came (G major) over everyone
Till (D major) nothing seemed to stir
or even breathe (F major) (G major)
(A minor) And when the dark (G major) ness chose to disappear,
not (A minor) many had survived
Then (B flat major) came a shadow - another
(G major) had (C minor) arrived (Baug)
(B flat major) (Adim) (D major) And again (B flat major) the light went (G major)
(C minor) out of (Baug) the (B flat major) daytime sky
