A VERY COLD AND DARK EVENING

A VERY COLD AND DARK EVENING

WHERE IS THE REST OF YOU, YOU A VERY COLD EVENING?

DID YOU JUST DISAPPEAR FROM SIGHT?

WHAT HAPPENED?

DID SOME ONE CHASED YOU AWAY?

WHO?

THE DARKNESS...

OH! THE DARKNESS CHASED YOU AWAY

HOW MEAN OF THAT DARKNESS

HOW DARE THE DARKNESS CHASED YOU AWAY

I THOUGHT OTHING ON THIS EARTH CAN EVER CHASE YOU AWAY

I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE LIGHT

YOU WERE THE SHINING LIGHT ON THE TOP OF THE HILL

TOP OF THAT HILL WHERE PEOPLE CLIMB ALL DAY TO FIND YOU

TO DELIGHT IN YOUR SHIMMERING LIGHT

TO DELIGHT IN YOUR SOOTHING BLUE LIGHT

TO FEEL ROMANTIC IN YOUR LIGHT, THE COLOR OF THE NILE...

TO FEEL YOU AE IN THOSE ANCIENT LANDS OF MONUMENTS, PYRAMIDS AND

PROPHETS...

WHERE HAVE THE PROPHETS GONE/

WHERE HAVE ALL THE PROPHETS OF THE WORLD GONE?

THERE IS SO MUCH DARKNESS WITHOUT THE PROPHETS

THERE IS SO MUCH DARKNESS WITHOUT YOU

I APPEAL TO THE PROPHETS TO COME BACK

WE MISS THEM

WE NEED THEIR WISDOM

THEIR DIGNITY

THEIR STRENGTH

THEIR SPIRITS

THEIR GENEROSITY

THEIR SENSE OF RIGHT AND WRONG

THEIR POETRY OF JUSTICE

THEIR SONG OF PEACE

WHERE DID THE PROPHETS GO?

CAN YOU COME BACK?

CAN YOU SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THE PROPHETS SO WE CAN SEE THEM?

I KNOW THEY ARE SOME WHERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, HIDDEN IN THE

DARKNESS...

CAN YOU COME BACK SO THAT THE PROPHETS WILL BE VISIBLE AND THE LAND

WILL HAVE SOME MEANING LIKE BEFORE?

CAN YOU SHINE ON OUR LIBRARIES SO WE CAN READ SOME WONDERFUL BOOKS

WE ARE SO MUCH IN THE DARKNESS THAT WE SEE NOTHING BUT LONG AND DARK

SHADOWS OF DARKNESS...

CAN YOU SHINE ON OUR EARTH SO WE CAN SEE THAT IT'S FERTILE?

CAN YOU COME BACK AND SHOW US THE WAY?

WE ARE LOST

WE HAVE LOST OUR WAY

WE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING

WE ARE BUMPING INTO EACH OTHER

WE ARE HURTING EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE ARE SO MUCH IN THE DARKNESS

WE ARE NOT AT FAULT BUT WE HAVE LOST OUR LIGHT

YOU WERE OUR LIGHT AND YOU ARE GONE

WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?

WHY HAVE YOU GONE?

WHY WON'T YOU COME BACK?

HAVE WE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO OFFEND YOU?

HAVE WE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO ANNOY YOU?

HAVE WE DONE SOMETHING TO DISAPPOINT YOU?

YES, WE HAVE

WE HAVE LOST OUR WAY

WE HAVE LOST OUR STRENGTH

WE HAVE LOST OUR SOPHISTICATION

WE HAVE LOST OUR MORALS

WE HAVE LOST OUR DIGNITY

YES, WE HAVE LOST EVERYTHING WHICH IS DEAR TO GOD

WE HAVE LOST OUR CHARACTER.

BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE DARK.

YOU HAVE GONE AWAY

WE OFFENDED YOU

WE HURT YOUR FEELINGS

YOU SHOWED US YOUR LIGHT AND WE CHOSE DARKNESS

PLEASE COME BACK

IT'S TOO DARK WITHOUT YOU

WERN'T YOU OUR MOON?

THE MOST GLAMOROUS OF ALL LIGHTS

THE MOST PRECIOUS OF ALL THE LIGHTS

PLEASE COME BACK AND LIGHT OUR MOUNTAIN SO WE CAN CLIMB UP

WITHOUT ANY FEAR...

WE NEED TO MOVETHE DARKNESS OF IGNORANCE

MOVE UPWARDS

MOVE FORWARD

AWAY FROM THE ETERNAL DARKNESS OF IGNORANCE

AWAY FROM THE DARKNESS OF EVIL

AWAY FROM THE DARKNESS OF CRUELTY

AWAY FROM THE DARKNESS OF VIOLENCE

AWAY FROM THE DARKNESS OF HATE...

PLEASE COME BACK...

COME BACK, THE BEAUTIFUL MOON

BRING BACK YOUR SOOTHING, COMFORTING BLUISH LIGHT...

THE EVENING IS DO DARK

EVERY EVENING IS SO DARK LATELY

SO DARK, SO, SO SO DARK WITHOUT YOU...
