In a Darkened Room

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 Well tell me when a 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 Tell me when a 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 --- In a Darkened Room - Skid Row
