lyrics

Friends and foes
Lay down your arms
Let's fill these skies
With light and hope
Friends and foes
Brace yourselves
The darkness comes
It comes now

Burn the day and greet the night
Damn the weak and crush the light
Burn it all and the world will see
Peace is but a broken dream

Friends and foes
Take up your arms
Let's fill these skies
With swords of hope
Friends and foes
Brace yourselves
The darkness comes
It comes now

Burn the day and greet the night
Damn the weak and crush the light
We're fading
We're fading

Though darkness comes
The light has won
Let's fill these skies with singing
Watch darkness fade
The light will reign
Peace has come
The light has won
