"Darker Than The Light That Never Bleeds" is a mash-up of "A Light That Never Comes" and "Darker Than Blood" created by Steve Aoki as a tribute to late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington.

Background

After vocalist Chester Bennington passed away, Steve Aoki created a remix tribute using elements of "A Light That Never Comes" and "Darker Than Blood". The track was debuted on September 7, 2017 at 7+10pm ET on SiriusXM Electro Ch51 with Liquid Todd and released the following day. Net proceeds went to Music For Relief's One More Light Fund in Chester's name. An one-minute tribute video was also put together by Steve Aoki and posted to his social media accounts. An updated version of the remix was released on September 26, replacing the original release on all digital platforms. Steve Aoki described it as having an overall better mix. He adjusted some levels and a synth layer in the first drop and wrote an arp part in the second breakdown.

Lyrics

Chester Forever Steve Aoki Remix

Don't you hold your breath
'Cause I'm not coming down
The battlefields have left me only scars
And floating in the dark
I'm swimming in the sound
Of voices that should never been apart

Darker than the blood (Darker than the blood)
Higher than the sun (Higher than the sun)
This is not the end (This is not the end)
You are not the only one (You are not the only one)

The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for the light that never comes
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh
Waiting for a light that never comes

Keep your heads together
Keep your heads together
