Darkness Within

Here in this darkness that I lay Depression heavy in its way 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

Misery's forgotten chords I strum in vain to please the Lord But he has never answered me Faith has waned eternally In empty men who pass along The woes of all religion's wrong 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 Do do do...

Wo oh wo oh Woah oh oh (Music save me) Music my savior (save me) Music my savior (save me) Music my savior (save me) Music my savior (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 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 Do do do...
