Mimi & Richard Fariña - Children Of Darkness lyrics

Now is the time for your loving, dear, And the time for your company, Now when the light of reason fails And fires burn on the sea; Now in this age of confusion I have need for your company. For I am a wild and a lonely child And the son of an angry man; And now with the high wars raging I would offer you my hand; For we are the children of darkness And the prey of a proud, proud land. It's once I was free to go roaming in The wind of a springtime mind; And once the clouds I sailed upon Were sweet as lilac wine; So why are the breezes of summer, dear, Enlaced with a grim design? And where was the will of my father when He raised his sword on high? And where was my mother's wailing when Our flags were justified? And where will we take our pleasure when Our bodies have been denied? So now is the time for your loving, dear, And the time for your company, Now when the light of reason fails And fires burn on the sea; Now in this age of confusion I have need for your company.
