In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of god's faith
Lies the wounded, shattered remains of a 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 what I know not what I do
How can I keep inside
The hurt I know is true?
Tell me when the kiss
Of love becomes a lie
That bears the scars 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 réquiem
Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust
And watch it crystallize
While my salvation it crumples 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 scars of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
