DARKNESS HAS REACHED ITS END

The gentle quietly they go
The tender, kind and bold
The child, the child he has grown
What was warm now lies cold

And hope hides in the heart
No man can learn their song
As clear as this evening light
With eternal hope you long

But faith and truth and love and strength
Once dwelt within your soul
And rivers run as crystal falls
And who is able to stand?

Standing alone
Your heart's as cold as ice
Your hand is shielding the light
As you search for the meaning of life

And light shall shine from the stars
And rain will fall on this earth
And sorrow shall pour in my heart
As the flowers appear on earth

The darkness has reached its end I'm told
And love is stronger than hate
Iron it rusts as stone decays
And force shall always

Wipe away the tears from your eyes
For love is stronger than
I have hurt my friends I know
And who shall catch their fall

Faithful and true
Hope pure as crystal
And sorrow shall pour from my heart
As the flowers appear on earth

And light shall shine from the stars
And rain will fall on this earth
To you wherever you are
Our love is stronger through pain

So hope faithful and true
So pure, clear as crystal
And sorrow shall pour in my heart
As the flowers appear on earth

SHADOWS WILL FALL BEHIND

The woman is crying, she’s crying for help
The boy is weeping as he lies hurt
I live in dreams, a perfect world
And when I wake, the sky is grey

And though you think that you will soon die
There’s surely no doubt that you’ll be saved
The lightning will burn, but you won’t be burned
For you are protected and you can’t be hurt

The lightning will burn, but you won’t be burned
For you are protected and you can’t be hurt

I live in dreams, a perfect world
And when I wake, it's to the sun
And the hunted will run and they will be caught
But pure hearts will run forever free
For you are the saved and you are the pure
And you won’t be hurt for you are strong

And though you think that you will soon die
There’s surely no doubt that you’ll be saved
And lightning will burn, but you won’t be burned
For you are protected and you can’t be hurt

The lightning will burn, but you won’t be burned
For you are protected and you can’t be hurt

I live in dreams, a perfect world
And when I wake, it's to the sun

And the hunted will run and they will be caught
But pure hearts will run forever free
