Dark Times

Fear rolls across the pathway
A fog descending in our minds
The Sun blotted out of the sky
By the corona of a second son
Come like a pestilence thirsting for blood
Was this foretold in a story book of souls
Lost in the dark yet hungering for the light within
To shine through the dun and burn away the shadow cast by lies
I see through the veil but on the other side awaits death
Making me want to shudder my windows and feign blindness
Still a shard of your warmth seeps through
And your light within gives me hope
Like the first sprinkles of a sunshower in Spring
Bring it on me and thunder in my mind that I can hear your healing love
For the cold rain reigning o're the land hurts my face
Leaving a trace of the ice covering my soul
Take away this vile creature creeping in hidden places
As it rips the innocent souls of the unsuspecting
away from those who love them
Cowering inside self-imposed prisons
No more safe from the cold clutches of the monster
Floating from door to door as salesmen come to steal Grace
Don't let the liar in, make the monster go away
Leave the beast standing outside the door
Telling false prophecies till he's red in the face
Tell him to take his pestilence away and go jump in a lake of fire filled just for his evil essence to swim in eternally
And cover me in the grace of your light within
