Shadows spreading, watch where you're treading,
Darkness rules the world.
Nightmares walking, fear comes a-stalking,
Darkness rules the world.

Thunder growling, black winds are howling,
Darkness rules the world.
Storm clouds teeming, children are screaming,
Darkness rules the world.

Faces hiding, time, they are biding,
Darkness rules the world.
Evil waking, feel the world breaking,
Darkness rules the world.

But just hold tight, don't give up the fight,
Cling to a memory of light.
So just hold tight, through endless night,
Cling to the memory of light.

Remember blue sky, remember sunshine,
Remember the clear star-filled night.
Remember green grass, remember green trees,
Remember the spring flowers bright.

Remember sweet love,
Remember laughter.
Hold them as shields in the dark.
Cling to these memories of light.

And just hold tight, don't give up the fight,
Cling to a memory of light.
So just hold tight, through endless night,
Cling to the memory of light.
Cling to the memory of light.
