You're surrounded by the world's dark night

You stand there gazzing in dismay

This cruel cruel world has snuffed the light


you cannot push back though try as you might

This darkness will not be put to bay

You're surrounded by the world's dark night


You will never see the day so bright

Oh, to see the summer sun! But nay,

Thiss cruel cruel world has snuffed the light


Search as you may, there is no hope in sight

You long and long for the light of day

You're surrounded by the world's dark night


This dark dark world has grip so tight

there is no escaping though you pray

This cruel cruel world has snuffed the light


Try as you may you cannot take flight

Dying, there in the darkness you lay

You're surrounded by the world's dark night

this cruel cruel world has snuffed the light.
