Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where do I turn to
When there's no choice to make?
And how do I presume
When there's so much at stake?
[Verse 2]
I was so sure oh, of it all
What if I need you
In my darkest hour?
And what if it turns out
There is no other?
[Verse 3]
If this is, our last hope
We would see a sign oh
We would see a sign
[Verse 4]
Well I've been running
From the ashes we left
Forgiveness speaks for itself
But how can I forget
When there's a stain
On it all?
[Verse 5]
What if I need you
In my darkest hour?
And what if it turns out
There is no other?
We had it all
[Verse 6]
If this is our time now
We wanna see a sign oh
We would see a sign
So give us a sign
I need some guiding light
Children of darkness oh
[Verse 7]
Oh...
