Born amidst the darkness,
A child of fights and war,
Who grew up in her mother's arms,
And who knows what she saw?

We couldn't hide forever
They'd find us soon enough.
I only thought to keep her safe,
Don't let them treat her rough.

Chorus.

Soon you'll see I'm scary
When those I love are far away.
When you're here, you can't hurt them.
They'll live to see another day.

Chorus.

You'll rue the day you caught me;
I've never liked a trap.
Soon you'll be in the darkness,
Lost without a map!

Chorus.

But though I looked for peace and rest,
I haven't lost my fight.
And though I may console her,
I'll still do what is right.

Chorus.

If I can hold her in my arms,
While I shoot you from the sky,
Then I'm never going to leave her,
Not until the day I die.

Chorus.

[quieter now, a little worried]
I wonder, should I stop this?
If I don't she's got a chance.
My child could live forever,
For eternity she'd dance.

This one's got a more 'rocky' feel to it. Again, the demo will be up on YouTube very soon, once I've got some recordings through from the keyboard player who can't make it to the practice on Friday - I'll give you a link when it's done!

This one's about Torchwood, talking about Anwen (the baby), while the verses are from Gwen's point of view.
