"Child of Light"
Child in the darkness screem into the light.
Never let her go gently into the evil night.
Concepts end well before they began.
They assume withot knowing
their in their leader's hand.
Never let her go quitely
into the darkest night.
Rage over the silence -
it's the dying of the light.
Know you signs of sarrow
as she stood beside you there.
The magic and the music
the light hipnosiss of a stair.
Never forget -
nor will you yet forgive,
if you saw her slip away
without ever having met.
Never let her go gently
into the evil night.
Rage over damnation -
it's the taking of the light.
You understand the better
than you understand the right.
Never let her slip away
like a ghost into the far.
Rember the angel -
the brightest of the stars.
Do not let her go away
into an enigmatic night.
Instead carry her gently...
Mourn the dying of the light.
