children of darkness

oh

now is the time for your loving

dear

and the time for your company

now when the light of reason fails

and fires burn on the sea

oh

now in this age of confusion

i have need for your company. for i am a wild and a lonely child

and the son of an angry land

now with the high wars raging

i would offer you my hand

for we are the children of darkness

and the prey of a foul command. it's once i was free to go roaming in

the wind of the springtime mind

and once the clouds i sailed upon

were sweet as lilac wine

oh

why are the breezes of summer

dear

enlaced with a grim design?

so

now is the time for your loving

dear

and the time for your company

now when the light of reason fails

and fires burn on the sea

oh

now in this age of confusion

i have need for your company.
