Post Tenebras Lux
True light comes after dark.
A dawn divine breaks out
My soul without a spark
In detrius night of doubt
This dark epiphany
My deep depravity
Shaped in iniquity
Before nativity
An evil worldly breed
A spawn of night accursed
I find a greater need
To see my darkness first
If all I see is light
Then surely I am blind
My sin I would not fight
And hate him that remind
T'is not enough to see
The light of stars at night
When he who made decree
In me finds no delight
The more that I confess
My endless void of sight
My sinful soul finds rest
For after dark comes light
