In A Darkened Room
In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of gods faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered
Remains of love betrayed
And the innocence of a child is bought
And sold
In the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left silent
And cold
Forgive me please for I know not
What I do
How can I keep inside the hurt
I know is true
Tell me when the kiss of love
Becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running
Unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
All the precious times have been put
To rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day when I’m tortured
In my trust
And watch it crystallize
While my salvation crumples to dust
Why cant I steer the ship before
It hits the storm
I’ve fallen to the sea but still
I swim for shore
Tell me when the kiss of love
Becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running
Unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
