Nightfall

I look beyond my haggard domain Glorious in arrayed ideals and name Seeing my toils decay into sad sighs Living my life imprisoned by seasoned lies Good luck some say never runs out I flee before the armed flint of your shout A bitter cry for battle and casualties To heap our dreams with wild perplexities O! why do you mourn my friends Rejoice for all things good must truly end Rejoice for a dusky change is at hand To dry up the rivers of blood flowing in our land I step aside for my quest for restive peace As I survive the obsolete night of hopeful bliss Beyond the clouds and high mountains that smile Peace may reign over our land for this little while Do not fear for the dawn brings sweet light where all things good are alive and bright
