Lyrics

Dark Satanic Mills

In a small damp corner of the world
Sodden tracks lead to cracks between the hills
Through glittered lines of trees, only the wise can see
The beauty in the dark satanic mills
Blackened bricks line the sides of cobbled roads
1000 shades, all mixed with gray to look the same
through sympathetic ears, only the wise can hear
the beauty in the rhythms of the rain

Gods and Angels knew these hills
And Gods and Angels work here still
For the beauty of the dark satanic mills

In a small damp corner of the world
Ramshackled huts form the guts of cotton and coal
Over glasses filled with beer, only the wise can hear
Colliers bands that echo in their souls

Gods and Angels knew these hills
And Gods and Angels work here still
For the beauty of the dark satanic mills

In this small damp corner of the world
Twitching nets, untidy steps may give you chills
The north with all it's pride has arms open wide
In faith for those dark satanic mills

Gods and Angels knew these hills
And Gods and Angels work here still
For the beauty of the dark satanic mills
Gods and Angels knew these hills
And Gods and Angels work here still
For the beauty of the dark satanic mills
For the beauty of the dark satanic mills
For the beauty of the dark satanic mills
