A Tale Dark and Grimm Theme Song Lyrics

(Hansel and Gretel Lullaby by Allie Feder and Michael Kramer)

When the darkness opens wide,
Swallowing up the sun inside.
Dappled stars, they prick the sky
Blanket on which the moon will lie

Why must daylight always dim?
Creeping dusk so cold and grim.
'Tis the blackness of the night,
Teaches us how to see the light

[Full version continues]

Shadows fall upon the earth,
Burying secrets in the dirt.
All is blind, then suddenly,
Everything shifts, yours eyes they see

Why do shapes look different now?
Bitter tongues sound sweet, somehow?
'Tis the blackness of the night,
Teaches us how to see the light

[Instrumental break]

Why do shapes look different now?
Bitter tongues sound sweet, somehow~?
'Tis the blackness of the night,
Teaches us how to see the light
