I've walked through the valley of shadows
Too many times in my life
With the sunshine always eluding
My continual struggle with life
The valley gets deeper and darker
As onwards I hurry past
Oh where are the flowers and the sunlight?
Will this nightmare forever last?
Is this the path to destruction?
How come I have reached it so soon?
For now it is truly midnight
But yesterday was still noon!
Yesterday I did see the ending
Although it was so far away
But today it seems gone forever
Only deeper and darker the pain!
