All I See Is Darkness

Does not the light shine upon the earth?

Does not the light shine upon my brow?

No, there is no light upon the earth,

And the light upon my brow is black.

And all I see is darkness.

There is a vast emptiness lurking around me.

The cold, black feeling of death is entering my soul.

I grow more and more weary during my restless nights,

And all I see is darkness.

I begged my God to guide me to the light,

But there is no mercy for me.

There’s no more love to spare,

Neither is there any kindness to share.

I’m like a blind beggar crawling on my knees,

And all I see is darkness.
