In a Darkened Room

In a darkened room

Beyond the reach of God's faith

Lies the wounded

The shattered remains of love betrayed

And the innocence

Of the child is bought and sold

In the name of the damned

The rage of the angels left silent and cold

Forgive me and please for I know not what I do

How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true?

Oh, 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 into 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 crystalize

While my salvation it crumbles to dust

Why can't 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 into you

Please let there be light in a darkened room
