"Darkness" is a power ballad from hard rock band Aerosmith's eighth album Done with Mirrors.
The song originally appeared as the last track on the album's cassette and CD issues (it didn't appear on the vinyl version). It was then issued in 1986 as the album's second commercially released single in the US (following "Shela"), and was the fourth and final promo-single taken from the album.[2]
