about

Bill Pippen may have taken credit for the harder edge of the duos sound, but Heart puts him to shame in fan favourite 'The Darkness'. Years before the grunge scene exploded, this tune was ripping boomboxes wherever it could be hunted down on cassette. The track has undoubtedly influenced many post-70's hard rockers excluding a glam-revival fourpiece that used the name for several years in the early '00s, rising to minor fame in the UK.

lyrics

The darkness is in me
The darkness is in my heart
The darkness is in you
The darkness is in your eyes
That Feeling is in my mind
My senses are going blind
Force-fed all these lies
Ahead the world dies!

The world is spinning faster than us now
As we head towards the sun
The apocalypse is nearing us
Judgement day has come
People killing others
The murdering of our brothers
Blackening of the skies
Ahead the world dies!

The ringing of alarm clocks
That were never set
The dying cries of a frenchman
As he eats his last baguette
The darkness is approaching us
The killing time has come
A mother sits there crying
At the fate of her unborn son

The ringing of alarm clocks
That were never set
The dying cries of a frenchman
As he eats his last baguette
He eats his last baguette
Baguette, baguette
The Frenchman eats a baguette
