No Hope For the Future

When the light begins to fade 
And darkness takes control

All our hope is lost 

But when again a new day dawns 
And we may once again see clearly
Our hope is restored 

But one day 
Dawn may not come
When this time of darkness descends 

We must stand up
And control our fear of the night beasts
Who stalk us as if we were prey

Now is the time for prays 
So that god may keep the darkness at bay
