Darkness

Must we lie patient always
Til all the birds be breaths be still
Oh my true love hold me
In this hell of ever chill
Propped between the sun and moon
Until the somber bell of darkness rings
And the precious solitary drink
Out of our chained cup begins
Our life
The darkness is our life
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
This is our life
Innocent between two wars
A blade of light dissolves us
Out of every unholy hour
Rises another bloody trail
This fills our naked shadows
As we dance in the soul of night
Among the stars we wait
Lost and locked forever in our lives
Our lives
The darkness is our life
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
This is our life
Our lives
The darkness is our life
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
This is our life
The darkness is our life
