Darkness surrounds,
Darkness surrounds,
My boat falters in the swirling vortex,
My boat falters in the swirling vortex,
My heart is filled with dread,
Darkness surrounds,
Darkness surrounds.

Love's temple, worship of the beloved,
Love's temple, worship of the beloved,
I, a carefree, intoxicated one,
I, a carefree, intoxicated one,
My worship scattered,
My worship scattered,
The offering plate slipped from my hands,
The offering plate slipped from my hands,
A black night descends on my life,
A black night descends on my life,
Will dawn ever break in my heart?
Darkness surrounds,

A sudden gust of wind,
A sudden gust of wind,
The support, the companion gone,
The support, the companion gone,
The flute parted from my lips,
The flute parted from my lips,
Our journey halted mid-way,
Our journey halted mid-way,
The sweet, beautiful dream shattered,
The sweet, beautiful dream shattered,
Sorrow casts its shadow,
Darkness surrounds,
Darkness surrounds.
