OriginalTesto originale di Richard Farina
CHILDREN OF DARKNESSCHILDREN OF DARKNESS
  
Oh, now is the time for your loving, dear,Now is the time for your loving, dear,
And the time for your companyAnd the time for your company
Now when the light of reason failsNow when the light of reason fails
And fires burn on the seaAnd fires burn on the sea
Oh, now in this age of confusionNow in this age of confusion
I have need for your company.I have need for your company.
  
For I am a wild and a lonely childIt's once I was free to go roaming in
And the son of an angry manThe wind of the springtime mind
Now with the high wars ragingIt's once the clouds I sailed upon
I would offer you my handWere sweet as lilac wine
For we are the children of darknessSo why are the breezes of summer, dear
And the prey of a proud, proud land.Enlaced with a grim design?
  
It's once I was free to go roaming inAnd where was the will of my father when
The wind of the springtime mindWe raised our swords on high?
And once the clouds I sailed uponAnd where was my mother's wailing when
Were sweet as lilac wineOur flags were justified?
Oh, why are the breezes of summer, dearAnd where will we take our pleasures when
Enlaced with a grim design?Our bodies have been denied?
  
So, now is the time for your loving, dear,For I am a wild and a lonely child
And the time for your companyAnd the child of an angry man
Now when the light of reason failsNow with the high wars raging
And fires burn on the seaI would offer you my hand
Oh, now in this age of confusionFor we are the children of darkness
I have need for your company.And the prey of a proud, proud land.
