Darkest Time

Once there was a time

darker than the human mind

the old man told me

If there was a light

it cried a while before it died

it died away

That night he told me

of the darkest time

With his own eyes he had

witnessed this crime

Once there was a place

before it was a realm of grace

not far from here

Ruined, raped and murdered

sunken deep to dark despair

Sky covered in

glowing clouds

Lasting night and winter

fatal atmosphere

Misery

Is there no end to this tragedy

How many tears

This darkest time

laughs at divinity

This darkest time

laughs at your fears

Once ther was a war

of a kind never seen before

poor stupid mankind

Brother killing brother

rulers crying out for more

always more

From distant swords

lands wet with blood

Games of slaughter

death the only goal
