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

tell me when a 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 the 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

tell me when a 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
