Children of Darkness (E) C F C / C F C / C Am / Dm G / C F C / C F C 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. It's once I was free to go roaming in The wind of the springtime mind It's 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 We raised our swords on high? And where was my mother's wailing when Our flags were justified? And where will we take our pleasures when Our bodies have been denied? For I am a wild and a lonely child And the child of an angry man 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Words and music by Richard Farina, copyright Whitmark and Sons.
