THE DARK AGE

VERSE 1:
Desperate people
Heads down in the dark
They see a flash of light
And pray the end will make its mark.

You and I
Have a different view
We see our world come tumbling down
And grasp for something to heal the wounds.

CHORUS:
On the downside of the world
They can still feel the light
But they don't dare look up
For they cannot tell the wrong from the right.
We can watch it all unfold
Here at this majestic height
But if we lose our step
It's a short fall... into the night.

VERSE 2:
Men of vision
Use the world as a stage
Play words to change the truth
Their actions turn to rage.

We the people
Share a higher goal
Yet is it possible
Can we take the toll?

[CHORUS]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
The upside of it all
Is that, when we come face to face
We see the people
From a long forgotten place

We can help it all unfurl
Or we can come to the light
We can stand on common ground
But tell me... what will make it right?

[CHORUS]

OUTRO:
On the downside of the world
They can still feel the light
But they don't dare look up
For they cannot tell the wrong from the right
And we can can watch it all unfold
Here at this majestic height
But if we lose our step
It's a short fall...
Short fall... Short fall... into the night.
