In “Where the Dark Things Are”, the eighth track on Shadow Works, Kerli addresses her lover, using imagery of religious iconoclasm and black magic to express the connection she wants with them.
[Verse 1]
Altars to ashes
Burn down my churches
And give up what's holy
To live off your mercy
[Pre-Chorus]
Joining the forces
Summon the powers
Rip me to pieces
[Chorus]
'Cause you know I would die if I won't live
Push me down to my knees
And take me where the dark things are
Where the dark things are
Where the dark things are
Where the dark things are
[Verse 2]
Black is the magic
White is the night sky
Please make me have it
I'll worship you all night
[Pre-Chorus]
Ruin and ravage
Make me your priestess
Rip me to pieces
[Chorus]
'Cause you know I would die if I won't live
Push me down to my knees
And take me where the dark things are
Where the dark things are
Where the dark things are
Where the dark things are
Where the dark things are
