    Verse 1
    When 
    they went 
    to 
    bed 
    that 
    night, 

    no 
    one 
    would 
    have 
    believed 

    That in 
    the morning 
    light 

    would not 
    be 
    there 

    The 
    dark 
    hung 
    heavy 
    on 
    the 
    air 

    like 
    the grip 
    of a jealous 
    man 

    No 
    place 
    was 
    there known 
    to have 

    been 
    spared 

    Then 
    panic 
    took control 
    of 
    minds 

    as 
    fear 
    hit 
    everyone 

    The day 
    the light 
    went 
    out 

    of 
    the daytime 
    sky 

    Verse 2
    Artificial 
    light 
    could hardly 

    penetrate 
    the 
    gloom 

    Nothing 
    out 
    of 
    reach 
    could 

    be ob
    served 

    Looting, 
    pillage, 
    murder, 

    rape 
    be
    came 
    the rule 
    of that 
    day 

    Who 
    hit 
    him 
    no one 
    knew, 

    or 
    whom 
    he 
    hit 

    Cars 
    were 
    caught 
    in 
    pileups and 

    the 
    planes 
    could 
    never 
    land 

    The 
    day 
    the 
    light 
    went 
    out 
    of 

    the daytime 
    sky 

    Verse 3

    "Now 
    I can 
    rest 
    here after 
    my 

    journey 

    Now 
    I 
    can 
    feed 
    here 
    before 
    I con

    tinue." 

    Verse 4

    Some 
    were 
    there who's 
    heads 
    were clear 
    who sought, 

    tried 
    to find 

    The 
    nature 
    of 
    this 
    deadly 
    foe, 

    the 
    dark 

    It 
    seemed 
    the sun 
    was still 
    somewhere, 

    though 
    hidden 
    from 
    their sight 

    By 
    something, 
    though 
    amorphous, 

    yet 
    alive 

    And so 
    they 
    looked 
    for ways 
    to 
    rid 

    them
    selves 
    of the 
    parasite 

    The 
    day 
    the 
    light 
    went 
    out 
    of 

    the 
    day
    time 
    sky 

    Verse 5
    "Now 
    I can 

    rest 
    here after 
    my 

    jour
    ney 


    Now I can 
    feed 
    here 
    before 
    I con

    tinue." 

    Verse 6

    They 
    tried 
    in 
    many 
    fruitless 

    ways 
    to see 
    the noonday 
    sun 

    By 
    blasting 
    with their 
    missiles 

    through 
    the dark 

    But soon 
    a kind 
    of sleepy 

    state 
    came 
    over 
    everyone 

    Till 
    nothing 
    seemed 
    to stir 

    or even 
    breathe 

    And 
    when 
    the dark
    ness 
    chose 
    to 
    disappear, 

    not 
    many 
    had 
    survived 

    Then 
    came 
    a 
    shad
    ow - another 

    had 
    arrived 

    And 
    again 
    the 
    light 
    went 

    out 
    of 
    the 
    daytime 
    sky

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
