Our Foe Revealed
Singing, we go singing
Past the tombstones undaunted
Shadows, only memories
Our hearts they but haunted
They flee the moment we decide
We've had enough and they're denied
Access to stir our fear
Drifting wraiths have no power
Parting, they make way
Straight ahead the pathway
Lovers, shall we not
Run straight toward the rising sun?
They flee the moment we decide
We've had enough and they're denied
They recede
They're undone
Memories, they but vanish
They flee the moment we decide
To look ahead regardless of the taunts
They fling as we race by
The frightening, fearful journey
Is the final test;
And his unmasking is night
Our dreaded enemy revealed;
Gaunt watcher o'er the weary world
'Ware this treacherous road
I like it not
What dark design had led us
Past these evil things
Only to find the way is choked
And far too hard to follow?
There's a serpent coiled
And he may strike
If we dare pass him by
He'll flee the moment we decide
To name at that last hidden thing
We buried deep inside of us
Always there, locked within
Guiding us toward home!
