Tweet Curious

Good job! Just watch the order of your words, try not to use more than one Exclamation mark at once, and use please liberally!

I believe that the tweeter who got this tattoo took the phrase from a Nicki Manaj's song called "Bed of Lies." The lyric used is as follows: "They say that your darkest hour come before your dawn." Please be aware that, while fun to listen to, rap music should not be relied on for improving your English-language skills, as it is often full of grammatical errors. This lyric should be: "They say that your darkest hour comes before your dawn."

The actual expression is: "The darkest hour is just before the dawn." It is a lovely Irish proverb that means that there is hope even in the darkest (worst) of times. In actuality, the night sky REALLY IS darkest just before it becomes daytime. 

Happy Holidays, Roukia :)
