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 

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 

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 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 scar of sin too deep 
To hide behind this fear of running unto you 
Please let there be... 
Please... please... please let there be light 
In a darkened room
