Dark Is The Night

lyrics

There was a day the sun had died - A fiery ring on blackened skies
The monarchs of this world decide - To kill its light and all subsides
Winter followed with endless rain - The cattle flocked and pain remained
The wolves have gathered with iron will - Feast on the sheep in violent thrill

Their eyes’ are blind their mouths are shut, torn wounds still shed the victim’s blood
Are we born to see the light? Or will we die by one man’s might?
The vulture in its glory flies – its wings and shadow cloud the skies
The morning gone, the day has died –Dusk has come, dark is the night!

Kneeling and praying – all is said and done
Light up the sky and all will die as one!
No one will carry all our loss
Embodied lies nailed to the cross

Then came the day, the end was near – their bodies choked with endless fear
Come flood! Come fire! Endless night! Let all the pyres light the sky!
A purgatory human made – decisions made and still too late
The dying’s wishes stay unheard – their shattered voices dead to our ears

The flood hit land in southern skies – the waves crushed everything in sight
The plague that followed then remained – in our hearts and souls restrained
We kept illusions hanging high and painted them with blood so bright
Our life is gone, the earth has died –Death has come, dark is the night!

Kneeling and praying – all is said and done
Light up the sky and all will die as one!
No one will carry all our loss
Embodied lies nailed to the cross
