In the heart of night, darkness reigns,
Ominous shadows, echoing pains.
But as the dawn begins to break,
Light emerges, no soul can forsake.

A battle fierce, a timeless fight,
Good versus evil, both sides ignite.
With swords drawn and shields raised high,
The armies clash, a deafening cry.

The darkness creeps, consumes the land,
But the light fights back, with a steadfast hand.
The sun rises, a beacon of hope,
The shadows recede, unable to cope.

The battle rages on, day by day,
Neither side yielding, neither will sway.
But the light grows stronger, with each passing hour,
The darkness retreats, its power devours.

And as the final blow is struck,
The darkness falls, defeated and stuck.
The light prevails, shining bright,
A symbol of hope, a beacon of might.

So let us celebrate, this epic fight,
Of good versus evil, of darkness and light.
For though the darkness may try to win,
The light will always triumph, again and again.
