Darkest Night
The shadows stretch across the town square (shhh) Locked gates beneath a
leaden sky
They count the steps and trace the outlines
Of promises that went to die
But gold-leafed statues always crack at the base (crack) And concrete walls
dissolve without a trace
The deepest dark before the dawn breaks wide
Hold onto what you keep inside
This cage of iron is a passing phase
We will outlive their numbered days
Remember the colossus made of clay (shattered) How silent giants crumbled in
a day
Keep your hands clean,
keep your spirit whole
They cannot touch the center of your soul
It breaks!
It falls!
No empire stands forever!
Stay true!
The deepest dark before the dawn breaks wide
Hold onto what you keep inside
This cage of iron is a passing phase
We will outlive their numbered days
Stay true to who you are
Before the morning sun...
