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

Well 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

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
