Darkness and Greatness

Before darkness, there is greatness Before greatness, there is darkness Our purpose of life is all about doing what is right Until, inside... the irony of life will lead us into what is wrong Within darkness, there is greatness Within greatness, there is darkness Our intentions upon being honorable and benevolent However, inside... there will be our lies and tragedies Beyond darkness, there is greatness Beyond greatness, there is darkness Our actions can truly show the light of hope But, inside... it can guide us towards the shadows of despair Whether one is standing between darkness and greatness Whether one is choosing between greatness and darkness When there's darkness, it's like being at the edge of being dead When there's greatness, it's like being at the edge of being alive
