Here Are the Lyrics to Halestorm’s ‘Darkness Always Wins’

Welcome back Halestorm, who just released the new song "Darkness Always Wins" and we've got the lyrics for you.

The track shows a darker and more intimate side to the band as Lzzy Hale leads the slow-burning track from the opening piano keys into a full on orchestral anthem.

Hale says of the song, “‘Darkness Always Wins’ is not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair. It is reality. History repeating. Evil prevails and the good depart first."

She cautions though, "We are not doomed as long as we persist and keep our fires burning. The war may not be won in this lifetime. But our mission is to pass the torch so that those who follow have a light to fight with.”

Halestorm, "Darkness Always Wins" Lyrics

NOW, THE WORLD IS STILL
IT’S JUST ME SPINNING OUT
TRAPPED INSIDE MY HEAD
FEELING NUMB
AND THERE’S NO SONG TO SING
TO SAVE ME FROM MYSELF

I’M FADING INTO BLACK

WE’RE ALL FIGHTERS
HOLDING UP OUR LIGHTERS
CHASING OFF THE MONSTERS
DROWNING IN OUR SINS
WITH EVERY LAST BREATHE
TRY TO STOP THE SUNSET
RUNNING WITH THE SHADOWS
DARKNESS ALWAYS WINS

I make the same mistakes and I cant change my ways
Its how Ive always been
Its in my bones, a heart of stone
And then the cold comes creepin in
I'm fading into black

WE’RE ALL FIGHTERS
HOLDING UP OUR LIGHTERS
CHASING OFF THE MONSTERS
DROWNING IN OUR SINS
WITH EVERY LAST BREATHE
TRY TO STOP THE SUNSET
RUNNING WITH THE SHADOWS
DARKNESS ALWAYS WINS

Darkness Always Wins
Darkness Always Wins
YEOW!
AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH

WE’RE ALL FIGHTERS
HOLDING UP OUR LIGHTERS
CHASING OFF THE MONSTERS
DROWNING IN OUR SINS
WITH EVERY LAST BREATHE
TRY TO STOP THE SUNSET
RUNNING WITH THE SHADOWS
DARKNESS ALWAYS WINS
WE’RE ALL FIGHTERS
HOLDING UP OUR LIGHTERS
CHASING OFF THE MONSTERS
DROWNING IN OUR SINS
WITH EVERY LAST BREATHE
TRY TO STOP THE SUNSET
RUNNING WITH THE SHADOWS
DARKNESS ALWAYS WINS
DARKNESS ALWAYS WINS
