the stars have dimmed, the night is still
a deeper darkness has begun to spill
across the sky, a blanket of black
a void of emptiness, no turning back
a deeper blue than the ocean's depths
swirls in the sky, where the night crept
a hue of mystery, a shade of unknown
a new darkness, a realm of its own
the moon hides behind the clouds above
in this new darkness, it's hard to love
the familiar glow, the guiding light
now replaced by this deep, eerie sight
a deeper silence fills the air
the creatures of the night, unaware
of this change, this shift in the dark
as the new darkness leaves its mark
the trees stand tall, but seem to cower
in this deeper darkness, with no power
to fight against its overwhelming hold
as the new darkness begins to unfold
a Longshot for the similar hue
different from the darkness we once knew
a deeper darkness, a different breed
a darkness that's not afraid to feed
on our fears, our doubts, our deepest desires
it consumes us all, like raging fires
burning within, this new darkness grows
a force of nature, no one knows
the stars are fading, one by one
as the deeper darkness steals the sun
the sky is now a canvas of black
as the new darkness begins to attack
our senses, our minds, our very souls
it takes control, and it takes its toll
a deeper darkness, with no end in sight
a new darkness, swallowing the light
we try to fight, to break free
from this new darkness, but we can't see
beyond its depths, its all-consuming grip
we're lost in this darkness, unable to slip
away from its grasp, its heavy weight
we can't escape, we can't abate
the feeling of dread, the sense of doom
in this new darkness, a long-awaited tomb
but amidst the gloom, a spark of hope
a glimmer of light, a way to cope
a deeper darkness, but not without light
a new darkness, with a chance to fight
for what we believe, for what is right
to break through this darkness, with all our might
a deeper blue, a brighter hue
a Longshot for the similar hue
we rise up, against this new darkness
with courage and strength, we harness
the power within, to create a change
to find the light, in this endless range
of a deeper darkness, and a new blue
a Longshot for a similar hue
we rise above, we push through
and finally, the light breaks through
the stars shine again, the moon glows bright
the deeper darkness, no longer in sight
and in its place, a deeper blue
a reminder of what we've been through
a new darkness, we've conquered once more
a challenge faced, a victory to soar
a Longshot for the similar hue
a depth that we've all journeyed through.
