In the Dark (Demo Version)

It was many years ago today
That I heard a wise woman say
It is time for another war for humankind
Not sure this is what she had in mind

She grew up in times of deprivation
When survival was the only motivation
Bombs were flying and hopes where dying
And trust gave way to cyclones of lying

When the war was over and done
And the last song of battle was sung
All dreams were destroyed
All shops where void
And the wreckage of a future ahead

And in times like those when nothing was for granted
And hopes were bout to burn
They gave each other exactly what they needed
A hand to hold in the dark
A hand to hold in the dark

Yesterday our grandparents went to war
But now the war is coming to our door
Invisible and mean
No traces to be seen
Soon many of us could be dead

For most of us this is all so new
And we don't know what to don't and what to do
Never knew nothing but a life of plenty
Shelves were always full and stomachs never empty

It is bad and yes it is sad
But it's not the worst thing man has ever had
Sacrifices are high
But the end is always nigh
And we still have the future in our hands

And in times like these when nothing is for granted
And the horizon is going to burn
We have to give each other exactly what is needed
A hand to hold in the dark
A hand to hold in the dark

And in times like ours when nothing is for granted
And the tables could always turn
We need to give our friends exactly what is needed
A hand to hold in the dark
A hand to hold in the dark
A hand to hold in the dark

It is in many years from today
When we've survived
Just how I cannot say
When the world is nothing like before
Then the next war is knocking on our door
