dark horse in the night

uncle pulls us closer
beside the fires glow
looks deep into our eyes
and decides we’re ready

he said those to whom you are among
are not as they once were
what used to fill these hearts has fallen

dark horse in the night

heard them stirring last night
by the edge of the forest
autumn, savior, hush now
they grow restless

he said those to whom you are among
are not as they once were
what used to fill these hearts has fallen

thunder high, dark as night
no one knows
dark he fights, won’t let the night
steal our soul

no, he won’t
