Darkness Within

Here in this darkness that I lay

Depression heavy in its weigh

And how my body aches to leave

To sing its final eulogy

My sons I love you evermore

And though the road beckons once more

I see the damage that I've done

In search for redemption

But I am just a broken man

Whose soul cries out to understand

How the madness shatters me

Upon the stage on bended knee

I scream out loud at skies above

That answer mute bereft in love

I struggle not to fall from grace

Or sing the hymns of my disgrace

We build cathedrals to our pain

Establish monuments to attain

Freedom from all of the scars and the sins

Lest we drown in the darkness within

Mystery's forgotten chords

I strum in vain to please the lord

But he has never answered me

My faith has waned eternally

In empty men who pass along

The woes of all religions wrong

But now the Shadowed veil it falls

Heed the Clarion call

So pray to music build a shrine

Worship in these desperate times

Fill your heart with every note

Cherish it and cast afloat

'Cause god is in these clef and tone

Salvation is found alone

Haunted by its melody

Music it will set you free

Let it set you free

We build cathedrals to our pain

Establish monuments to attain

Freedom from all of the scars and the sins

Lest we drown in the darkness within

Music my saviour (Save me)

We build cathedrals to our pain

Establish monuments to attain

Freedom from all of the scars and the sins

Lest we drown in the darkness within
