lyrics

The show can’t go on, you’re alone
The lights are off and all is gone
Blacked out

When the power fails, all that remains
Is the glowing screen you guard with your life
A ray of hope – for the hopeless

But the dancers will dance to the beat of their own drum
The sound of their rhythm will help guide you home
But it’s not part of the show

Can you give me a sign, give me a signal, show me the way cause I can’t seem to find it
How can you know what’s left and what’s right
When you're powerless and there’s no light

Can you hear me now
I can see your lips move but you’re breaking down
And the speakers can’t help you now

You lose your power, you lose control
No lights to tell you where to go
Let’s just walk for a bit and see what happens

Will you wait by your phone, will you bide your time
Will you get up and take the blackout in stride
Cause this is the time

Can you hear me now
I can see your lips move but you’re breaking down
And the speakers can’t help you now

This is not a test, it’s all for the best
Now that the lights are off, I can finally see the road

Can you see me now
I’ll walk the distance cause
We‘re still here
Slowly adjusting our eyes
To see in the darkness
So keep holding on
To your thoughts
You’ll need them tomorrow
