Walkin' in the valley, the shadow of death Overcoming evil with good Hangin' all the time on a fine line But I'm doin' all the things I should I've gotta fight on if I'm gonna make it Try to keep the victory in sight The Devil's out to get me, I'm shakin' in my shoes When I'm losing the spiritual fight
I cry, "Darkness is falling, Darkness is falling, Darkness is falling!"
Tell me what you want me to do
I send up a flare in the form of a prayer "Jesus, won't you hurry!" He appears on the fog with the angels of God And tells me not worry "It was seen as a loss when I died on the cross, Just another execution. But I'm back from the dead, captivity is being led Let there be no mortal confusion."
He cries, "Darkness is falling, Darkness is falling, Darkness is falling through!"
He cries, "Darkness is falling, Darkness is falling, Darkness is falling through!"
The powers of Hell will not prevail The Light of the world will cause its falling There's nothing to fear, death has no sting The armies of God will make freedom ring!
