[Verse 1]

You're watching your favorite show

When the TV died

The biggest power-cut in your neighbourhood since 1989

A blackout in the center of town

But down in the suburbs where it first went out

They've been asking, asking the question



[Chorus 1]

Are you afraid of the darkness?

Are you afraid of the darkness?

I'm afraid of the darkness too



[Verse 2]

In the hospital

On the critical ward

Too long a breath between

The break and the backup of a life support

One system failure and it stopped her heart

One power vacuum and we're coming apart

We should be asking, asking the question



[Chorus 2]

Are you afraid of the darkness?

Are you afraid of the darkness?

I'm afraid of the darkness too

We're all caught in the blackout

Trying to feel our way out

Wait for the morning

I'll be waiting for you



[Bridge]

Meet me in the middle

Meet me in the middle

Bring a burning candle with you

Meet me in the middle

Meet me in the middle

I will be there waiting for you



[Verse 3]

I was in my comfort zone

I was singing selfish songs

I've been taking for granted everyone understood how easy trouble comes

But it's not enough anymore

We can't turn just around and close the door on the world

It's asking uneasy questions

We should be asking ourselves uneasy questions



[Chorus 2]

Are you afraid of the darkness?

Are you afraid of the darkness?

I'm afraid of the darkness too

We're all caught in the blackout

Trying to feel our way out

Wait for the morning

I'll be waiting for you



[Outro]

Meet me in the middle

Meet me in the middle

Bring a burning candle with you

Meet me in the middle

Meet me in the middle

I will be there waiting for you

Meet me in the middle

Meet me in the middle

Bring a burning candle with you

Meet me in the middle
