Dark Sunrise

I see it all so clearly now

The dust has settled, clearing the view

The young walk with a naive bravado

Until they reach the day, all they can say is wow

There is nothing like tomorrow

Until it comes under a shadow

There is nothing else to look forward to

But an end that brings such sorrow

For the brave may conquer the day in front of their eyes

But they have no foresight into what's next

They are so filled with the idea of much time to come

Forgetting that everything in this life dies

There'll be a dark sunrise on many coming days

And they'll have to learn the truth of life

Some things are inevitable

And there's a debt that everyone pays

To live through the dark sunrise shall measure their true might

Their response will be measured

And not all of them will succeed

The only survivors of the dark sunrise will be those with a lot of fight

To escape the dark and feel the sun again, possible it is to do

They must survive the coming struggle

And fight through the pain of loss

For those facing the dark sunrise, surviving says a lot about you
