I walk the edge of darkness
And fall deep into the pit
I am surrounded by the blackness
All around I feel darklings sit
Who will help me out of this despair
As I sink deeper into this nightmare
In the void of my mind, who is there
Only my shadow, my sadness I share
But she comes and shines so bright
She takes me by my hand as I cry
She has come, my reign of light
Up from this dark place we will fly
I feel her goodbye kiss on my lips
And falls down against my will
Back into the blackness she slips
As I cry, she is in the darkness still
And fall deep into the pit
I am surrounded by the blackness
All around I feel darklings sit
Who will help me out of this despair
As I sink deeper into this nightmare
In the void of my mind, who is there
Only my shadow, my sadness I share
But she comes and shines so bright
She takes me by my hand as I cry
She has come, my reign of light
Up from this dark place we will fly
I feel her goodbye kiss on my lips
And falls down against my will
Back into the blackness she slips
As I cry, she is in the darkness still
