Gary Numan - Dark Lyrics






I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall.
Now the darkness comes
And I'll pray for
The end of us all.

Don't let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Don't let the dark into me
We raised the tower of Babel for you
Don't let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Don't let the dark into me
Don't let the vengeance of Heaven be you

So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease,
Look down into the face of God.
Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said I'd save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind.

Don't let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you

Gary Numan Dark Comments
  1. G.... ....

    Fantastic

  2. J.... K....

    Numan's songs were not in this soundtrack.

    J.... K....

    Not sure what you mean by that, but you may want to review the original OST track listing (Dark City https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000005ZD5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8lb9DbMX39YWE). If you simply mean the song didn't appear in the film itself, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make..

  3. J.... L....

    Shut it down

  4. J.... L....

    YouTube won't show me or give me the video do you see the lyrics of this track I think that's kind of fucked up and control what do y'all think

  5. P.... C....

    They are vultures standing in front of the door, quite unaware that destiny is never kind to those who wait in vain. Their pride betrays the means of their destruction. Take my rings and trinkets bright but let me my eyes that enlighten me and my tongue that lets me wander! The rest is yours, and welcome!!

  6. J.... L....

    This is why I hate updates

  7. C.... W....

    If Pluto were to ever chastise Saturn. This song would be the conversation. Haunting...

  8. D.... M....

    It's a travesty that Exile wasn't the soundtrack to this movie...

  9. J.... S....

    Numan's voice is so hauntingly vulnerable on this track. It gives me shivers everytime.

  10. E.... S....

    Pure genius.

  11. P.... ....

    I'm getting VTMB vibes from this! Gary Numan is truly ingenious.

  12. S.... R....

    Almost scary like Gary predicted Trump And Calls Him The Dark

  13. P.... C....

    One of the best Numan songs of all.

  14. -.... ....

    Next listen, I need to not look at the screen and listen more, cause I know what movie that picture is from and I kept thinking about the movie. 😋😋😋😎😎...BUT, I did listen for the most part and GARY is brilliant as always! 😎😎😎😎😎...GARY ALWAYS SOUNDS SOOOOO GOOD AND DISTINCTIVE. I LOVE HIM...ever since the 80's. 😍😍😍

  15. -.... ....

    Who else waited for a few for a video to start with all those creepy dudes? HAHA! 😋 I just kept staring at the creepy dudes (That look like they are from DARK CITY, which is an AWESOME movie...more I look, are they from DARK CITY I wonder? 🤔 And where is RICHARD O BRIAN...RIFF RAFF from RHPS eh? He was the main evil guy in DARK CITY 😎😎😎) and I was like, "if they wait and then start moving out of nowhere, I swear to the Gods!!!" 😂...Another awesome track from GARY NUMAN. 😍😎😍😎😍

  16. M.... B....

    never heard this from the movie, song is cool

  17. f.... ....

    This is darker than the darkest *DARK*

  18. d.... b....

    gary numan and tubeway army are rightfully immortal

  19. d.... b....

    gary numan is a genius

  20. d.... b....

    i am against all forms of racism the absurdity of disliking someone because of skin pigment is stupid

  21. d.... b....

    nice to see that hatred is hip

  22. S.... H....

    One of my favourite tracks from the master,its fucking awesome

  23. c.... p....

    watched it never heard it ?????

  24. R.... J....

    This song sounds best in my car, turned up high. Telekon will always be my favorite album, but songs like this one are wonderful as well.

  25. L.... Z....

    Gary's newer stuff is very much underappreciated.

  26. V.... ....

    This song is still bringing tears to my eyes, after like 8 years since the first time I heard...

    V.... ....

    Mine too.

  27. d.... l....

    Entschuldigung

  28. D.... ....

    2007 and I just heard this now?  Man, where have I been?

    D.... ....

    one of my absolute favorite Numan songs -stands the test of time - I always come back to it

    D.... ....

    Everything from the Exile album is pretty great.

    D.... ....

    DragonDriver100 this is def my fav Gary song!

  29. K.... K....

    To Alyshia Kirkhart on same page as Manson redid Personal Jesus by DM and you see similarity Numan to DM!!

  30. K.... K....

    I think this is perfect as a remake for Marilyn Manson. I too loved this song first time heard it, right after Spahn Ranch song on Cleopatra album.

  31. N.... W....

    #Phenom #Epic

  32. P.... ....

    I fell in love with this the moment I heard it.

  33. D.... J....

    fremragende musik :-) tak Gary Numan

  34. C.... B....

    the drumming is f****** brilliant for one

  35. C.... B....

    I'm so glad you said that Alyssia Kirkhart !

  36. A.... A....

    Someone may have very well already said this; I haven't read every comment. But this has such a delicious Depeche Mode feel. I, for one, miss that sound. Thanks for posting. <3

    A.... A....

    I'd tend to think Depeche Mode actually has a somewhat Gary Numan feel, however, check out the collaboration song between Numan and the Mexican group Titan here on YouTube. I felt that sounded very much like Depeche Mode's more recent music.

    A.... A....

    Even in their darkest moments Gahan and Gore maintain a little hope, whereas Numan has consistently spit in the face of such consolations. DM and GN are amazing, but one is decadence and the other is despair.

  37. p.... b....

    love this lots

  38. E.... ....

    Damn great song. I have this soundtrack, but sometimes I like to come and read the comments.

  39. J.... C....

    Long Live Gary Numan....

  40. J.... S....

    i LOVE your channel! You pick the best ambient instrumentals.

  41. A.... C....

    Gary Numan is the world first rap artist with   'Are Friends Electric ?'
     
    second is Blondie with ' Rapture "

    A.... C....

    It's more of a spoken word verse, isn't it ? I'm pretty sure there were some examples of this kind (although not that cool of course) in pop history way before Blondie or Numan..

    A.... C....

    @Tim Davis...

    A.... C....

    Adam Ant :D -eheh

  42. c.... ....

    Dark City!

  43. M.... ....

    is there an instrumental version ?

  44. B.... L....

    theworldisgettingdarker

  45. a.... s....

    free photos of gary numan and depeche mode just google asmjuniormoore  or send request to archie simpson moore  on face book.enjoy

  46. T.... ....

    @Aerylon Blackwolf - I didn't know artists had to get your approval of their lyrical content. Fine if it disgusts you, but no one's going to change their lyrics to fit your views.

    I absolutely love this song, and it's PERFECT for the movie Dark City.

  47. a.... t....

    Ive been waiting here 
    Waiting for faith 
    And the word to fall. 
    Now the darkness comes 
    And Ill pray for 
    The end of us all. 

    Dont let the dark into me 
    We killed the angels that warned us of you 
    Dont let the dark into me 
    We raised the tower of babel for you 
    Dont let the dark into me 
    We let the children build temples for you 
    Dont let the dark into me 
    Dont let the vengeance of heaven be you 

    So pray to me, Im the lords new disease, 
    Look down into the face of god. 
    Bow down and cry, Im the black messiah, 
    The one true divinity. 
    Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter, 
    Who said Id save anyone?  
    So bleed for me, I need hostility

    I am the demon that waits inside you 
    Dont let the light shine on me 
    I am the ghost that reminds death of you 
    Dont let the light shine on me 
    I am the darkness that crawls into you

  56. j.... c....

    gary numan is a god..

  57. R.... ....

    what a shame a certain youtuber, who's comments should not be considered typical of those of faith, heard this song, but didn't truly LISTEN to it.
    I on the other hand, listened intently. and I found it to be hauntingly beautiful.
    So that's what Vince Noir was prattling on about it all this time :)
    Numan, you're bloody brilliant you are.

  58. F.... ....

    Gary numan is a genius ... !

  59. V.... E....

    @MrRamto13 Well look its a neighbourhood friendly racist shitbag dogfucking ape

  60. M.... ....

    Maybe it's a song about dark skinned people....

    M.... ....

    Devolution in action, folks.

  61. V.... E....

    @phil1002010 phil that was excellent what you wrote and my thoughts exactly

  62. P.... C....

    This is a fucking AMAZING song! Fuck this negative shit about it! God is great? MY BOLLOCKS! All you restricted 'religious' people that choose the path of the shackle, the ball and chain, get off this page and stop pontificating about shite, it's only because you are all fucking brainwashed and don't fucking realise it! We, the free, however, do realise it. People like you are the cause of wars and destruction and people like you will be the death of us all including our planet so fuck off.

  63. H.... ....

    WCW Seven

  77. F.... ....

    Or... OR... you know what? You're right. This is a story that totally needed to be told.

    And frankly, I'm glad my cover has been blown. It's like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can FINALLY stop looking over my shoulder every time I post, feverishly wondering if anybody has caught on to my sinister racket.

    Absolutely, Columbo.

    I'M the d-bag.

    Cheers mate.

  78. F.... ....

    Smooth. Did you alert Central Command of about that high-risk piece of reconnaissance? Whatever you do, please do NOT blow this whole thing wide open. The public isn't ready for it.

    ... the fate of the world is in your hands.

  79. A.... B....

    Digideus YOU proved my argument for me. Thanks. Its not about Satan PER SE? lol Read the lyrics man.

  80. n.... ....

    One of my favs of Gaza's.
    Shaz X

  81. T.... G....

    is it now wrong to write whats on your mind as thats what gary does, it has nothing to do with satan, yes he mentions god in a negative point of view but its effective right? i personally love this guys music and will be seeing him live in september woot!

  82. A.... B....

    Well that is too bad for you is it not? Because it will be us and God you turn to when hell breaks loose. And try to remember that not all Christians are the same.

  83. V.... E....

    So what if he does , don't you think you people have fucked the world up enough? come to think of it I ain't too fond of you damn christians either AerylonBW

  84. i.... ....

    Feh, get over it! not everyone's a Christian.
    If you don't like the message, don't listen to it.

  85. A.... B....

    Durr. Listen to the lyrics mona mi. He's not talking about Christ. lol. Not to mention, his lyrics about not wanting the dark in him, and killing an angel that warned them of of him, and building the tower of Babylon, or Babel as he calls it. Ya I think its safe to say this boy is a talent to hell alright. Which is a shame. He should do what Anne Rice did. He'd feel better. Fire me, I could care less. lol.

  86. F.... ....

    Are you serious?
    If you're actually serious, you're fired.

  87. A.... B....

    "great song?" My ass. He makes no qualms about hating Christians, Christ and God. It is too bad he is using his talent to make music about Lucifer. It really is..

  88. D.... ....

    I liked the song - awesome!
