Oh let the Darkness sleep

For fear of that which lies

Beneath the earth so deep

Be still and hear its sighs

The hunger makes it yearn

To taste your very soul

Towards the light it turns

As doleful death knell tolls

 

Oh let the Darkness sleep

As it has for these long years

A harvest shall it reap

Drawn by cascading tears

The wheel of time still turns

As Darkness closes in

The candle brightly burns

Exposing all our sins

 

Oh let the Darkness sleep

And save us from the grave

Hearts in fear shall leap

With madness minds shall rave

So go now hand in hand

While singing songs of old

A shadow o’er the land

A sign our souls are sold

 

Too late, the darkness wakes

Filling all with dread

The life from us it takes

We all are left for dead

What hope can there now be?

As all comes to an end

What future might we see?

What saviour shall they send?

 

*Out of the darkness Light
