This darkness holds no fear for me
Who live my life beneath its sway;
It is the light scares those that see.
My looking is in memory
And seeing there my forward way
This darkness holds no fear for me.
The demon in the moonlit tree,
The spectre in the mist by day,
It is the light scares those that see.
I know no better sense might be
Than these that light me on my way:
This darkness holds no fear for me.
When in their skies of lazuli
The storm clouds gather far away
It is the light scares those that see.
For us who need no light to see
The deepest night is bright as day:
This darkness holds no fear for me;
It is the light scares those that see.
