CHILDREN OF DARKNESS | CHILDREN OF DARKNESS |
| |
Oh, now is the time for your loving, dear, | Now is the time for your loving, dear, |
And the time for your company | And the time for your company |
Now when the light of reason fails | Now when the light of reason fails |
And fires burn on the sea | And fires burn on the sea |
Oh, now in this age of confusion | Now 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 child | It's once I was free to go roaming in |
And the son of an angry man | The wind of the springtime mind |
Now with the high wars raging | It's once the clouds I sailed upon |
I would offer you my hand | Were sweet as lilac wine |
For we are the children of darkness | So 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 in | And where was the will of my father when |
The wind of the springtime mind | We raised our swords on high? |
And once the clouds I sailed upon | And where was my mother's wailing when |
Were sweet as lilac wine | Our flags were justified? |
Oh, why are the breezes of summer, dear | And 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 company | And the child of an angry man |
Now when the light of reason fails | Now with the high wars raging |
And fires burn on the sea | I would offer you my hand |
Oh, now in this age of confusion | For we are the children of darkness |
I have need for your company. | And the prey of a proud, proud land. |
