[Verse 1]

Out of the night comes a timeless thing

Calm in simplicity

Whispers soft, a seductive voice

Meant for the human ear

[Pre-Chorus]

Down, down, down

I'm gonna take you down

That's when the dying calls

[Chorus 1]

If I look in the dark of the world

If I lose, I don't mind

That's when the dying calls

[Verse 2]

Down through the ages from the dawn of time

Roam through the world of dreams

Up from the the black of the Mississippi mud

Calling out to everything

[Pre-Chorus]

Down, down, down

I'm gonna bring you down

That's when the dying calls

[Chorus 2]

If I play in the dark of the world

If I lose, I don't mind

That's when the dying calls

When the dying calls, hey

When the dying calls

[Chorus 2]

If I play in the dark of the world

If I lose, I don't mind

That's when the dying calls

When the dying calls

When the dying calls

When the dying calls, yeah

[Bridge]

Up from the black of night

When the dying calls

Down through the dawn of time

When the dying calls

[Chorus 1]

If I play in the dark of the world

And if I lose, I don't mind

That's when the dying calls, yeah
