I've always thought that line meant that in the beginning of the world it was dark.
To quote The Never Ending Story. "In the beginning, it is always dark."
Before Arda (Elbereth) made the stars, there was no light to speak of.
I vote that Morgoth and then Sauron liked that time before there was light, and wished to repeat it.
