The Time to Get Out

Shadows rain on this lonely evening

Netiher candles lit nor the street lights

Can break through this grasp of darkness

 

The leaves rustle through the wind

Cursing its cruel fate

Of hanging on in the darkness

 

Even the sweeter fruits take no mercy

And the fall and fall towards to the ground

To be trampled by the men who see only darkness

 

The branches on the trees however,

Are inviting; are inciting

Calling you up to their height

To hang by a rope in the darkness

 

And darkness tramples

Darkness mocks

Darkness dares

You to get out

Of its devilish grasp

Its fiendish grip

 

And the flickering candles

Beg you to go to the motion

No light can reach you: the candles say

There is nothing for you:

The mangled fruits say

 

And the shadows give ts embrace

It's time

Let's go away from this

Empty and lonely place
