Darkness

From cubs to kids, all youth exists.
All must grow, learn, suffer and strive.
All must learn the fury of passion and the frost of hate.
Feel the future from the horrors of the past.
Shape your world for the good of hope and love
Emerge victorious from the darkness in your heart
Fight back against the dominance of revenge
Fill the world with colour and sounds.
Banish the screech of your screams
For the laughter of your children
Transform the red of your blood
Into the red rose of love.
Warm the cold with your passions hand
and hold all that's dear in that warmth.
Push back the dark over 'yonder horizon
and build a barricade of light to sustain.
All may be lost when the flood hits hard
But your light will pierce through the nightmare
and reach for your child in the peaceless night.
Fight the dark for the good of light.
Blood, suffering, horrors and destruction.
Our namesakes, Our footprints, Our history.
Let it be said that history repeats no more
For valiant efforts made by sacrifice prevailed.
Allow your children the joy of summer.
Allow your children the freedom of love
Allow your children your hand of guidance.
Allow your children no harm from hope.
Fight the wave of blood that flows
and beat down the beasts of envy
Let thy neighbour defend your back
Whilst you cut down the devil himself.
Tell your children of the blood spilled this night
Tell your children of the horrors that await
Tell your children they must herald a difference
Lest all be lost to the flow of time.
Band together and fight as one, and one as all.
Flow together against the raging hordes!
Lose yourself in the peace and joy
And wrap yourselves around that which cannot defend itself!
Fight! Fight the dark, Fight the horror and Fight the darkness in your heart!
Struggle fiercely against the cold wind
That would seek to snuff out the spark
That spark... That spark that signals the passing of time.
That spark... That spark that signals the rebirth of love.
