Child Of Darkness
Child of Darkness, Child of Night
Tell me why, why do you fight
Trials and fears breaking your bone
Why is it that you fight all alone
You're weary and tired you and your bow
Though we know this fatigue you won't show
Blood for blood it once was said
But why do you act like it's something to dread
You fight on, you refuse to give in
Though on your own you know you won't win
I offer my help but you smile and say
I'd accept but there's simply no way
For you to help, there's nothing to do
So stand over there, I'll get back to you
So here I'm stuck watching you suffer and hurt
I watch you wrestle in mud and in dirt
Child of Darkness why can't you see
That what I offer isn't just me
I'm a fighter, messenger of hope
I want to guide you back to the rope
Oh Child of Darkness why can't you see
A Child of Darkness you no longer will be
Born into Darkness, reborn to the Light
Child of the King who's stronger than night
Come to Him, you'll find peace in the end
Come with me my lover and friend
