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
