Between the branches and crackling bark,
Life will soon at last be dark.
With the sun now setting,
It's the day we'll soon be forgetting.
I stare and stare for endless time,
Lost in the thought that I'm alive.
You hold out your hand,
And I think I understand.
I know I have to take it,
But would if we don’t make it?
Through the forest we now run,
In the distance, the click of a gun.
He says it’s all okay,
I can’t deny that I’m afraid.
Our light disappears,
For it’s night I now fear.
