Lyrics
The Dawn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Waiting for the dawn again
The darkness is like a challenger
To all my schemes and orders
And forced good nature
To just lay down is to give up
You gotta do something
Something
Because the dark is like a challenger
And he will point out the sore point
The wanting point
In my stage of the game
He'll point out memories
Basic, basic memories
The few moments that make life any fucking good
And he'll put those in my face
In the dark
If all else fails‚ it's good to smile in the dark
Love and sex are gonna occur to you
And neither one will solve the darkness
