(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark) (The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark) Here we are at the end of the road A road that's quietly caving in Come so far to pretend that we don't We don't miss when we started Looking back, I see a setting sun And watch my shadow fade into the floor I am left standing on the edge Wondering how we got this far How we got this far They left us alone, the kids in the dark To burn out forever or light up a spark We come together, state of the art We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark So let the world sing What a shame, what a shame Beautiful scars on critical veins We come together, state of the art We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark The kids in the dark (The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark) Here we are at the top of the hill A hill that's quietly crumbling Been a while since you dressed for the k** The k** that sent me tumbling Looking up, I see a falling star And watch it's fire burn into the floor And I am left standing on the edge Wondering why we fall so hard Why we fall so hard They left us alone, the kids in the dark To burn out forever or light up the spark We come together, state of the art We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark So let the world sing What a shame, what a shame Beautiful scars on critical veins We come together, state of the art We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark The kids in the dark (The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark) They left us alone, the kids in the dark To burn out forever or light up a spark We come together, state of the art We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark So let the world sing What a shame, what a shame Beautiful scars on critical veins We come together, state of the art We'll never surrender to kids in the dark The kids in the dark The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark We'll never surrender, the kids in the dark The kids in the dark
