Darkness has Spoken

from First in a Field of One by Alan Reed

lyrics

DARKNESS HAS SPOKEN

Sometimes it's hard to get a handle
Sometimes it's hard to know what's right
You can't tell who is foe or who your friends are
You don't know who to trust or who to fight.

You've never had to question someone's motives
Never looked beyond the public face
Never thought to look beneath the surface
and see the lies behind their cold embrace
     
The sun shines down in its usual way
But it casts no light over me
The sun shines down and has nothing to say
 - Darkness has spoken to me
 
Harsh and unexpected
The blast that  knocked me from my feet
Tear up the past  - that life has ended
Just the bitter taste of shame and  disbelief  

There can be no understanding
There can't be trust where hope has died
I want revenge  -  my soul demands it
My heart turned black as night

The sun shines down in its usual way
But it casts no light over me
The sun shines down and has nothing to say
 - Darkness has spoken to me

My mind is reeling - I have lost control
I'm a cannonball spinning in flight 
No I can't stop  burning - I can't stop  turning, all my hate into talons of spite
I'm a harpie spitting vengeance and spite.

And though the darkness fills my sight
I know that distant rays are warming me  
Calling me to head towards the light
I know that I will not forgive
But I  must learn to grow and give
a better meaning to the days beyond this strife.

Now the sun shines down in a different way
Now it casts it's light over me
The sun shines down and has one thing to say
 - The Darkness has gone

The sun shines down in a different way
Now it casts it's light over me
The sun shines down and there's one thing to say
- The Darkness has gone - long gone...
