Lyrics

Dark Night of the Soul

We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul

Mind, body and spirit are drawn to the flame
Let the light and the candle be one in the same
Finally see you aren't stuck in one place
Sit back behind it in infinite space
Trembling hands, tender embrace
Shadows merge from the fire, paint a skull on your face
Afraid of the truth, afraid of the fear
Afraid of the feelings that guided you here in the dark
In the dark

We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul

Breathe in the smoke, fell through the floor
Passed through the veil, opened the door
Seething and angry, raw energy
Another dimension has it's claws in me
Feminine venomous, I felt afraid
The caverns I entered, I never escaped
I don't believe in bad trips, there's something to glean
Came back to this world, but if felt like a dream in the dark
In the dark

We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul

We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul

The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
