When did it get so dark, Yesterday was light, but the sun quickly set, today should be light, but it's not, The Darkness has me, and it wont give me back, I'm beyond the suns reach, and too tired to walk, Blind to the world around me, I surrender to The Darkness.

forgotten urchins of the night,
now suffer spiteful, hurtful scorn;
still punished for their
