Don't be afraid of the night
It's just shadow of the day
We are getting poor
Means someone richer, hey
Say,
Our time will come
The earth will turn
The dim will brighten
And the brighter will burn
The ashes will fly
To make that cloudy sky
Darker than before
And there'll be light no more...

The men who looked down the gates
With a frozen look, heart of ice
The time will come for their regrets
The time to look in their eyes and
Say,
Our time has come
The Earth has turned
The light we longed for
Was just adjourned
Now have a taste of the dark
See the scary things we witnessed
Feel the hollow as we felt
And admit no one is blessed...

All this time what you've thought as noise
Now you know that was a rising voice
No words to speak, nothing to see
Was just crying for mercy...

Now face me you coward, don't hide Know how it feels to be 'the other side'
Cry upon your own such deeds
And feed your hunger as the darkness feeds.
