DARKNESS
FILLED
THE
EARTH
Verse 1
I
have
travelled
through
the
land,
I
have
seen
the
tears
of
men,
Brother
fighting
against
brother,
Love
has
almost
disappeared.
Everywhere
I
turn,
I
see
pain,
Everywhere
I
look,
I
see
fear,
What
a
rat
race
among
the
human
race,
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Chorus
Darkness
filled
the
earth,
Darkness
filled
the
earth,
Hatred
everywhere,
pain
everywhere,
Men
are
fighting
against
themselves.
Oh
Lord,
let
Your
light
shine,
Let
Your
glory
fill
the
earth,
In
the
midst
of
this
generation,
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Verse 2
Friend
against
friend
for
silver
and
gold,
Families
divided
because
of
wealth,
Hearts
are
bleeding
behind
smiling
faces,
Many
are
dying
while
pretending
to
live.
The
strong
oppress
the
weak
every
day,
The
wicked
rejoice
over
the
innocent,
Men
are
running
a
race
against
each
other,
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Verse 3
I
see
mothers
crying
in
silence,
I
see
fathers
hiding
their
pain,
I
see
children
growing
without
hope,
I
see
nations
crying
for
peace.
Storms
are
raging
on
every
side,
Pains
and
sorrow
fill
the
streets,
Who
will
save
this
dying
generation?
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Verse 4
Even
among
brethren
there
is
hatred,
Even
in
the
church
there
are
wounds,
Men
compete
instead
of
embracing,
They
pull
down
the
one
they
should
lift.
Jealousy
has
entered
many
hearts,
Envy
has
become
a
daily
bread,
Oh,
what
has
happened
to
humanity?
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Bridge
But
there
is
still
a
Light,
There
is
still
a
Hope,
There
is
still
a
God
Who
can
heal
our
land.
Let
Your
light
arise,
O
Lord,
Let
darkness
disappear,
Let
love
return
to
the
hearts
of
men,
And
let
Your
glory
fill
the
earth.
Final
Chorus
Darkness
filled
the
earth,
But
Your
Light
will
shine!
Darkness
filled
the
earth,
But
Your
glory
will
arise!
Let
hatred
turn
to
love,
Let
sorrow
turn
to
joy,
Let
the
nations
see
Your
light,
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye.
Outro
The
earth
is
crying,
Humanity
is
crying,
The
nations
are
crying,
Lord,
we
need
Your
light.
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye…
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye…
Until
Your
light
shines
again.
Humanity
is
crying,
The
nations
are
crying,
Lord,
we
need
Your
light.
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye…
Okunkun
kun
inu
aye…
Until
Your
light
shines
again.
