[Chorus]
Darkness; seems to cover the world
Darkness; seems to cover the world
[Verse 1]
What does it worth to put yourself in a wrong-town
Who told you to go? Obligation
Get off my back; Babylon
There's a pride in each an' everyone's stage of life
I must keep Jah work and trim this foundation
Most of all, they go to bed and dem high in their head
[Chorus]
Darkness; seems to cover the world
Darkness; seems to cover the world
[Verse 2]
I see you mothers, and fathers
Wandering all over through material things
Is this a result of their sin?
Every little look over my shoulder, someone die
[Chorus]
Darkness; seems to cover the world
Darkness; seems to cover the world
[Verse 3]
Yes, my structure isn't random
I am among the rioters, eaters of flesh
There is no return to your faulty destruction
My blood is hot, you telling I
[Chorus]
Darkness; seems to cover the world
Darkness; seems to cover the world
[Verse 4]
With the good foot I climb the ladder of life
Darker than blood, in a dis ya attention
Trumpet and voice are not for only celebration
Let us struggle with the new generation
The Deaf, The Dumb, The Blind
[Chorus]
Darkness; seems to cover the world
Darkness; seems to cover the world
Darkness was written by Black Uhuru.
Darkness was produced by Sly & Robbie.
