Na-na-na-na-na
We came to battle baby
We came to win the war
We won’t surrender
Till we get what we're lookin' for
We're blowing out our speakers
A little scissor happy
Little misunderstood
We can turn you on
Or we will turn on you
Daughters of darkness
Sisters insane
A little evil
Goes a long, long way
We stand together
No we're not afraid
We'll live forever

And I don't need no dog tag
My name is on my back
We can turn you on
Or we can turn on you
Daughters of darkness

Goes a long, long way

Daughters of Darkness
The song "Daughters of Darkness" by Halestorm is a powerful message of female solidarity and empowerment. The lyrics paint a picture of strong, independent women who are unapologetically themselves and live their lives on their own terms. The lines "We came to battle baby, we came to win the war, we won't surrender till we get what we're looking for" speak to the idea of women fighting for what they want and refusing to back down.
The chorus of the song, "Daughters of darkness, sisters insane, a little evil goes a long, long way, we stand together, no we're not afraid, we'll live forever," showcases the bond between women and how that bond is unbreakable. The use of the phrase "daughters of darkness" is an interesting one, as it is often used to denote evil or negative qualities. However, in this context, it is flipped on its head, and the daughters of darkness are seen as powerful and unafraid.
The message of "Daughters of Darkness" is clear: women should be proud of who they are and not be afraid to fight for what they want. The song serves as an anthem for women who strive to live their lives authentically and courageously.
