Watch while the clouds smother flickering stars,
Crawl through the treacherous night.
See, if you can, through the fear in your eyes
How the dark swallows the light!
Filling the air are new terrors and spite,
Acrid with cruel burning eyes;
And as they gather ‘round, mocking your strife,
Weakened faith withers and dies.
Still it goes on,
Torches burn on,
Rainstorms flood on,
Burning,
searing,
drowning,
blearing,
raging,
jeering,
It goes on.
