Last Hope

LAST OF HOPE

When night comes and darkness takes over
Where is the saturation of inner light?
What has come over the soul within?
Asking and not finding
Seeking and nowhere to see beneath

The struggle and agony is unbearable
Weather is stormy, struggles are strong 
Nowhere to hide, someone to seek help
Time has come to say goodbye
None to promise in the next life

The light is gone, time has come
Forgiveness is urgent and struggling for pardon
No! No! There is no way to go!
Time has come. Time to go
