The Dark Night

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
It's the shout for help
The whisper to hold on just a little bit longer
For dawn is just around the corner

The soul must make it through it's darkest night
The brave must face their deepest fears
For but not from the depths of despair
Do we find our greatest strength
And the courage to go through the full length

What is the point of this much pain?
Of turmoil and testing, of horror and shame
The metal must burn to find it's true mettle
It's not forever, it's a matter of when
For the sun simply must rise again
