In Darkened Times

It’s hard to believe in darkened times
But one day this world will end
And we shall break free of the dusk
Unbound, free and transcend
It’s hard to believe in candle flames
When blackness is all around
But it’s in the most tenebrous climes
That fires yield their brightest shine
And if we just keep them burning
Through all our fortunes’ turning
They will lead us one day
Through this seemingly unceasing night
Into a new dawn of eternal light
Where the darkness can never touch us again
