The Dark Marches In
Sorrow comes as the night sets in,
For tonight there are no stars.
Can we let the darkness win?
Death’s soldiers come marching in,
Collecting the gifts from Life.
Sorrow comes as the night sets in.
Why don’t we just give in?
The dark is always their.
Can we let the darkness win?
People have tried to fight Life’s twin,
But life betrays all to Death.
Sorrow comes as the night sets in.
All that is and all that’s been
have surrendered to Death’s soldiers.
Can we let the darkness win?
The night is silent with a dreaded din
as we know there’s little time left to live.
Sorrow comes as the night sets in,
Can we let the darkness win?
