|
In a darkened room beyond the reach of God's 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
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
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 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
|
|
CHORUS
|
