Emerging Slowly From a "City of Night"

No longer submerged in darkness,

We march,

No longer searching for freedom,

we fight,

No longer bound by words of damnation,

and hate from people who worship a loving God,

we love,

We march, we fight, we love,

we do this to emerge, though slowly,

from a "City Of Night".
