[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Forgive me, please, for I know not what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true?

[Chorus]
Well, tell me when the kiss of love becomеs a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep to hidе behind
This fear of runnin' unto you
Let there be light in a darkened room

[Verse 2]
All the precious times
Have been put to rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singin' 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?
[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm?
I fall into the sea, but still I swim for shore

[Chorus]
Well tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie
Bears the scar of sin too deep to hide behind
This fear of runnin' unto you
Let there be light
In a darkened room
