Choppy Waters

Something strange lives
Something in the night

Deep in the forests 
Deep in the oceans
Deep in the earth
Deep life echoes calling for a fight

Something is breaking free
Something we can’t see
Something to be feared
Something that will take all life and yes you and me

Dark light clears the mist
Dark light has no shadow
Dark light does not exist?
Dark light will consume all in the final battle

Something we don’t know
Something we can’t see
Something you can’t hear 

Ancient spirits roam
Ancient minds are free
Ancient laws will rule
Ancient evil will lead

Whatever they say
Whatever they do
Don’t let them take you there
Don’t let them give it fuel

The stories you’ve heard
The stories you though were not true

Dark light is here
Dark light is true
Dark light wants all
Dark light wants you

You’ll see dark light doesn’t hunt
You’ll see dark light doesn’t move
You’ll feel it’s power pull
You’ll feel it’s magic fool

One day you’ll have no way
Of pulling away from that pool
Where dark light feeds the dead
Where dark light rules you

Where is yours and mines end?
Where is all human life too?
In one year from now
Dark light will rule

The place where it exists 
The place you’ll go too soon

An ancient wood 
An ancient pool
We won’t destroy
We are being fooled

Choppy Waters is where humanity dies 
Choppy Waters is where dark light will take you.
