There once was a night
So black and so cold
It seemed to know no end
A darkness that knew not when
Its time had come to go
Time passed so slowly
A generation without light
Children born without sight
What was wrong became what was right
All color took flight
In this endless night
Fear was sown and grew
An orchard planted by the dark
All forgot what once was true
Lost that which they knew
No struggle to fall apart
There came a fire which did not burn
A heart that could not, would not break
A burning quenched not by tears
And fed not by fear
It grew and burned for love’s sake
The night, swallowed up by heat
Clawed and screamed as it died
Pulled off its unwelcomed seat
Its work not near complete
Washed out by love’s riptide
There was an endless night
There is a burning light
There is a constant fight
The struggle never ends
What was may come again
Never cease to defend
To the death, love and life
