Coming Out of the Shadows

We are hidden trapped within the Shadows of night,
 We hear the frightful screams of echoes that linger and haunt

  Pain and horror in our own world 

Some maybe unaware of 'many know to well 
 With the evil here,who is to blame?
 Where the lies all the same thing?

We must join to fight the snares of the devil 
  And become a fortress like the stars together 
  
   With the heavy storm of dark
 We must use a light to guide us home 
  
  With arms wide open I'll take you with
As the fair moon shines bright with the stars 

 Only then in this battle will we be saved at last 
    
  With god and that light upon us we are saved 
                        With bliss
