The Darkening Hour
When the darkness slips in
And the light is no more
We must lock ourselves in
We must bolt tight the door
what is absent in light
lurks in the dark
blacker than night
to extinguish each spark
to destroy all that's bright
and snuff out each flame
the black mist blooms
a most desolate flower
and dreadfully looms
the darkening hour
pull the shades and close your eyes
and dream yourself a sunrise
