An eternity of darkness masked by a moment of light A brief moment when the world would forget the dark And embrace the light When they can see what’s in front of them When they can see the truth And the very world they loved betrays And truly embraces them in the same instant When the illuminated darkness shows the horrors And loving, and beauty of its face When every other moment of humanity's life seems pointless Seems lost compared to this one moment of truth When humankind sees its errors, its falsehoods When all is bright and you feel the light on your skin And the warmth soothes you When the dark cold bowels of the earth feel warmth and light once again When nature, the plants, the animals, every living being is illuminated And shown the truth When the world feels the sun again When the illuminated darkness ends The world forgets

Illuminated Darkness
An eternity of darkness masked by a moment of light A brief moment when the world would forget the dark And embrace the light When they can see what’s in front of them When they can see the truth And the very world they loved betrays And truly embraces them in the same instant When the illuminated darkness shows the horrors And loving, and beauty of its face When every other moment of humanity's life seems pointless Seems lost compared to this one moment of truth When humankind sees its errors, its falsehoods When all is bright and you feel the light on your skin And the warmth soothes you When the dark cold bowels of the earth feel warmth and light once again When nature, the plants, the animals, every living being is illuminated And shown the truth When the world feels the sun again When the illuminated darkness ends The world forgets
