Danko - Abbie Gale

Unset time
Unset place
Not necessarily a spot in history
The darkest time of humanity
The darkest season of earth
Nothing grows
Nothing evolves
Darkness covers almost all land
Unknown if there are any plants or animals
Cause they cannot be seen
And right in the middle of dark
A small place where humans live
Or something that reminds of living
They live in fear dream of fear they give birth to fear
No hope in their aching hearts
No smile on their broken faces
And this goes on and on for years and years and years
And as they fear more and they lose hope
The dark comes closer and closer
They never touch it never enter it
Until they day that Danko is born
His parents do not differ from other members
Of the tribe oh but Danko does
He Hopes
And Fears
But still Hopes
And he grows up And the little boy becomes a man
And he gets sick of fear
He gets bored of not exploring
Not the dark but his heart
His Burning Heart
And day after day frightened people
Listen to a man called Danko forcing them to move
Everyone thinks it's madness
But Danko is very serious
He never seems to fear never seems to regret
And some day more and more live off his hope
And begin to move
They take sticks on fire and they have Danko ahead
Everyone is moving now
Moving into the dark
Danko is always ahead shouting to go on
And now the dark gets deeper
It's aching to move now
Feet heavy
Hearts beating fast
But not Danko's
Sometimes he turns back to them and they see his face
Listen to his words
Probably they fear Danko more than they fear dark
And they go on and on
Light spreads in the heart of black fog
But dark now plays its dirtiest tricks
And hearts begin to freeze
And more and more are screaming to go back
Things get out of control
No order in the moving tribe now
They start to blame him
But Danko will not step back even now
He rips off his own heart from his wonderful chest
Bleeding he holds it up and everyone sees
The most hopeful light they had ever seen
Danko's Burning Heart gives them hope
And they go on really fast
No one screams now
Danko is bleeding
The world starts to fade away
He looks to his heart and still feels close to it
His pace is steady
His heart is burning leading the way
And after a while Dark begins to scatter and dawn comes
A bright reddish Dawn the first one in centuries
Everyone is cheering now
Everyone hopes
And they are so happy they cannot see
A young man's dead body lying among them
Beside a Heart that's still burning its last sparkles
