I beg the encroaching darkness,
Please don't steal the light,
I thought I'd seen a brighter day,
An ending to my plight
I ask that you don't cover me,
And suffocate my soul,
Don't let your bleakness swallow me,
And turn me from my goal
I see the flame is flickering,
I know that there is hope,
I yearn that you won't stifle it,
And leave me only smoke
I know that there's another side,
I felt its rays upon my skin,
It showed me to a better path,
That soon I could begin
I warn you if you come again,
I'm stronger than before,
I have a new found friend you see,
Who has opened up the door
I know with this added strength,
That I can turn you back,
I can break free from the shadows,
And end my days of black
So know I cannot fear you,
Just see that I have won,
For I will bask for evermore.
In the broad rays of the Sun.
