the second has begun.

Now comes the darkest of the night.

Evil no longer need shadow,

in utter absence of all light.

 

the second has begun

and It will yield tremendous pain,

as the suffrage must persist

in Its destruction of the vain.

 

the second has begun,

But no, we shall not fear the waves.

Let It cleanse our festered wounds

and wash away what nought be saved.

 

the second has begun

and we rejoice within the storm.

Let It blow away so much decay

and leave behind It something more.

 

the second has begun

and lucky we shall see Its glory.

The sun will surely rise again,

and certain we shall tell Its story.
