[Verse 1: Tom Jones]
The keys to the vaults of Heaven
May be buried somewhere in a prayer
The keys to the vaults of Heaven
May be heavy or lighter than air

[Refrain 1: Tom Jones]
Open up the vaults!
Open up the vaults!
We've got to find the keys!

[Chorus 1: Tom Jones]
The nights have been growing darker
Even darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of Heaven
The treasures are there within

[Verse 2: Tom Jones]
The keys to the vaults of Heaven
May be seen in a pure child's eyes
The keys to the vaults of Heaven
May be heard in our desperate cries

[Refrain 1: Tom Jones]
Open up the vaults!
Open up the vaults!
We've got to find the keys!
[Chorus 2: Tom Jones, Sounds of Blackness]
The nights have been growing darker
Even darker now than sin (Darker than sin)
We'll open the vaults of Heaven (Heaven)
The glories are there within

[Verse 3: Tom Jones, Sounds of Blackness]
The keys to the vaults of Heaven (Heaven!)
May be buried somewhere in a prayer (Somewhere in a prayer!)
The keys to the vaults of Heaven (Heaven!)
May be heavy or lighter than air (Yeah!)

[Refrain 2: Tom Jones, Sounds of Blackness]
We've got to find the keys! (Got to, got to find the keys)
We've got to find the keys! (Got to, got to find the keys)
To open up the vaults! (The vaults of Heaven!)

[Chorus 3: Tom Jones, Sounds of Blackness]
The nights have been growing darker (Growing darker)
They're so much darker now than sin! (Darker than sin)
We'll open the vaults of Heaven (Vaults, the vaults of Heaven)
The answers are there within

[Refrain 2: Sounds of Blackness, Tom Jones]
We've got to find the keys! (Got to, got to find the keys)
We've got to find the keys! (Got to, got to find the keys)
To open up the vaults! (Open up! Yeah! Open up!)
[Chorus 3: Tom Jones, Sounds of Blackness]
The nights have been growing darker (Growing darker)
They're so much darker now than sin! (Darker than sin)
We'll open the vaults of Heaven (Yeah!)
The answers are there within (Yeah!)
