Broken spirits dwindle in the light
Memories of a bitter war fade away
Unable to fight the impending night

Setting sun yields its right
Vowing to reclaim it another day
Broken spirits dwindle in the light

Yet spirits born in dawn's light
Cannot hope to avoid their fate
Unable to fight the impending night

Father sun helpless to their plight
Laments the souls he could not save
Broken spirits dwindle in the light

And as the last rays fade from sight
A sigh rises in etheric plane
Unable to fight the impending night

No more strength left to fight
Only death in night's dark flame
Broken spirits dwindle in the light
Unable to fight the impending night
