The Darkness
Freedom Call Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm crawling through the shadows of the underworld
I'm creeping like a creature through the dark
There's something moving slowly, down below
The beast is on the verge to take away my soul
I'm lost, I fall

Lust and strange desires
Screaming kills all my pain
Dust of raging fires
There comes the night again

Blasting pounds of thunder
Are shaking up the ground
Lost, I`m going under
And then the night is closing in

Come my guardian angel, come my guardian angel
Right to my side
I can hear the demons laughter, far through the night
The one who breaks the spell

The darkness, the darkness comes
The darkness, the darkness comes again

Flashing tongues of fire
Are slicing through the air
Clash, Fuck, I retire
Heat is rising everywhere

Crashing rays of lightning
Clouds of heavy rain
Lost, I`m going under
And then the night is closing in

All I need's a wonder, all I need's a wonder
Right by my side
You will see me going under, lost in the night
When all my power fails

The darkness, the darkness comes
The darkness, the darkness comes again

The Darkness comes, it comes
The devil on the throne
All I need`s a wonder
Now, it comes





The darkness, the darkness comes
The darkness, the darkness comes again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Freedom Call's song "The Darkness" describe a sense of fear and hopelessness as the singer navigates through the underworld. They feel like they're being hunted - crawling, creeping, lost and falling - and are aware that there is something dangerous moving in close proximity. The imagery is dark and ominous as they face lust, strange desires, and pain that they can only hope is silenced by their screams. In the midst of this, however, they call out for their guardian angel, begging for protection and guidance in the face of the demons' laughter. While they feel like they are going under, they still hold out hope for a miracle to save them from the grips of the darkness.


The song conjures up a vivid image of a person fighting for their life in a grim and unforgiving world. The lyrics are packed with vivid, visceral imagery that help to create a sense of tension and uncertainty. The throbbing, pounding rhythms of the music only serve to accentuate this mood, making it clear that there is no escape from the darkness that surrounds them - at least not without some divine intervention.
