Children Of Darkness lyrics

Now is the time for your loving, dear

And the time for your company

Now when the light of reason fails

And fires burn on the sea;

Now in this age of confusion

I have need for your company

For I am a wild and a lonely child

And the son of an angry man;

And now with the high wars raging

I would offer you my hand;

For we are the children of darkness

And the prey of a proud, proud land

It's once I was free to go roaming in

The wind of a springtime mind;

And once the clouds I sailed upon

Were sweet as lilac wine;

So why are the breezes of summer, dear

Enlaced with a grim design?

And where was the will of my father when

He raised his sword on high?

And where was my mother's wailing when

Our flags were justified?

And where will we take our pleasure when

Our bodies have been denied?

So now is the time for your loving, dear

And the time for your company

Now when the light of reason fails

And fires burn on the sea;

Now in this age of confusion

I have need for your company
