The night is darkest before the dawn,
They said when they let me go,
The night is darkest before the dawn,
They said,is this not so?
The night is darkest before the dawn,
They said,as I lived alone,
The night is darkest before the dawn,
They said as I lay chilled to the bone,
The night is darkest before the dawn,
They said as I hungered into the night,
The night is darkest before the dawn,
They said as I longed for a single bite,
The night is darkest before the dawn,
They said,during my last rites,
The night is darkest for someone,
All the time,
I know.
