[Verse 1]
\nHas the world gone dark
\nCrawled out from under a rock
\nNo longer a walk in the park
\nLacking satisfaction action… all talk<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, it’s wholly night
\n(There no light in sight)
\nOh, in fact it’s black
\n(Need to get my daylight back)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOh wholly night
\n(Shine bright with insight)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAre you under a black cloud
\nWonder if you’ll ever get out
\nTo the gods, plead and shout out loud
\nOn your knees, faith in doubt<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, it’s wholly night
\n(There no light in sight)
\nOh, in fact it’s black
\n(Need to get my daylight back)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOh wholly night
\n(Shine bright with insight)<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nAre you lurking in the shadows
\nAll the shades fade to black
\nIn the wallows of the gallows
\nHaving an anxiety attack<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, it’s wholly night
\n(There no light in sight)
\nOh, in fact it’s black
\n(Need to get my daylight back)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nOh wholly night
\n(Shine bright with insight)
\nOh wholly night<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\n\u201cOh Wholly Night\u201d is a somber, ironic twist on the traditional Christmas carol, serving as both a lament and a warning. Set against a backdrop of mounting legal battles, civil unrest, and democratic backsliding, the song reflects the increasingly fragile state of our union. The improvisational acoustic guitar jam mirrors the emotional weight of the lyrics\u2014raw, uncertain, and searching for light in a time of darkness.<\/p>\n

As protests continue and constitutional tensions rise, many observers fear we are approaching a historic inflection point in the Trump presidency. The use of military force to suppress dissent, the sanctioning of academic institutions like Harvard, the deportation of activists, and the targeting of major news outlets\u2014ABC, CBS, and the Associated Press\u2014are deeply troubling signs. These actions echo the authoritarian tactics of past regimes, signaling a dangerous erosion of democratic norms and press freedom.<\/p>\n
