Blackness Of The Night

In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly With a hope burning out deep inside I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt I'm alone and there is no one by my side In the blackness of the night I see a shadow passing by From the heels of an old soldier boy. There's no compromising And his eyes are black as the sky For this bad, bad world he is going to die. He's alone and there is no one by his side In the blackness of the night I see a sparkle of a star From the sweet silver tear of a child And she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago When her parents were happy she was too young to know She's alone and there is no one by her side I'm alone and there is no one by my side In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly With a hope burning out deep inside I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt I'm alone, and there is no one by my side
