Darkness is a country
and I remain there at night.
Night grows, darkness grows.
Am I afraid of darkness?
No, no
But afraid I am of evil in darkness
Oh hark, hark, hark
Darkness is round the corner of streets and roads.
See the beggar here
See the beggar there
There is darkness there
Darkness is a see-saw battle
Which we know and prattle
A battle with light
and then good night!
Darkness is a country
I remain there only at night
and there it is bright
Darkness is light.
