‘The Dark’ has been in the making for quite some time and according to SYML himself, it might not even be the final version just yet, but he felt it was the right time to release it. Sometimes quiet and slowly, sometimes massive and overwhelming, ‘The Dark’ represents our fears, doubts and hopes.

[Verse 1]
My fire is starved of oxygen
A flicker in the howling wind
Beware the night is closing in
And if I fall asleep, the shadows win
[Verse 2]
Well the darkness came to take my faith
It tried to steal my words to pray
My love came down like holy rain
And she became my god that day
[Break]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
And she became my god that day
[Verse 3]
She taught me how to think out loud
To listen when there ain't no sound
To love myself through all the doubt
To sing and make my mother proud
[Break]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, to sing and make my mother proud
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh-oh, ohh-ohh
Mmm, to sing and make my mother proud
[Verse 4]
In the dark I learned to love again
A sacred place it's always been
Where souls depart and life begins
The dark led me to light again
[Outro]
Yeah, the dark led me to light again
Oh-ooh, ohh, ooh, ohh-oh, ohh-oh
Yeah, the dark led me to light again
Oh-ooh, ohh, ooh, ohh-oh, ohh-oh
Yeah, the dark led me to light again
