Take My Hand

If ever I'll see the Sun again
If ever I'll celebrate light
I'll remember the days when darkness came
Out of sorrow and out of spite

Darkness, I said, come take my hand
Embrace me into your tide
For all my needs prepared me for thee
To welcome thee next to my side

Darkness, I said, come take my hand
For light is the world I have failed
The corpses around me are witness to this
The pain I have caused is assailed

I'll never see the Sun again
I never will celebrate light
For darkness embraced me and took my hand
To celebrate slaughter by right

Darkness, I said, come take my hand
And tell me the numbers I've slain
I took on the life on each one of them
Never to be seen again

Darkness, I said, come take my hand
The killing of friends is done
Darkness embrace me, you lover of pain
The torture I went for is gone
