Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Roll away your stone, I'll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don't leave me alone at this time
For I'm afraid of what I will discover inside
[Verse 2]
'Cause you told me that I would find a hole
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while, my character, it steals
[Chorus]
And darkness is a harsh term, don't you think?
And yet, it dominates the things I see
[Verse 3]
It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say, "That's exactly how this grace thing works"
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with the restart
[Chorus]
But darkness is a harsh term, don't you think?
And yet, it dominates the things I see
And darkness is a harsh term, don't you think?
And yet, it dominates the things I see
[Bridge]
Stars, hide your fires
These here are my desires
And I will give them up to you this time around
And so, I'll be found
With my stake stuck in this ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul
[Bridge]
Hide your fires
These here are my desires
And I will give them up to you this time around
And so, I'll be found
With my stake stuck in this ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul
[Outro]
But you, you've gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine
