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
