Light Denied
Oh to dream of a night where there is no light
And all of us scream out for such a simple sight
Oh why does this weapon tear at us so
How can it reach down to your soul
It pulls and tugs and rips us away
Making us regret the very day
Wishing we were never born
Reliving the horrible scorn
The heart inside screaming out need
Watching the death of all our breed
Tasting from the forbidden fruit
And attack the deadly brute
Shall he crush us all to death
Releasing our last breath
All falling onto the ground
So to the past we are bound
From this world we're set free
But there is always a fee
Yet bound to live a life
Through struggle and strife
To commit the task of the divine
Just waiting waiting for the sign
So we keep going on and on
Counting every single dawn
Till the sun sets forever more
And we exit through Death's door
