Day and Night

The night will become the day
The day will feed our joys
As all our sorrows fade away
At the birth of two baby boys

But day is soon consumed by night
And does sorrow return
We'll hide away until the day
Brings the light for which we yurn

A new day is upon us
And the boys have grown quite tall
The hunter and the hunted soon
Will bring a war upon all

The day will arise the hunt
The hunt will surely fail
But the saint will hunt the demon child
To find nothing but a trail

But when darkness thus does fall
The tables will then turn
The hunter will soon become the hunted
And a lesson will he learn

If then you try to fight him
Then you are who he'll want
And if you can't evade him
Then you may join his hunt

And soon the demon child will win
And day's grow cold and gray
As darness then consumes the light
And all will fade away
