You're surrounded by the world's dark nightYou 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.
