DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN!

Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone that's left?
Is there any way I can make it out alive?
What is left that they've not taken?
What is left beyond the pain?
What is left of truth when I only hear their lies?

There's a fire in my heart to keep the dark at bay
But my defenses have decayed

So I pray for a change to begin inside
For the courage to not run and hide
Is it shame, is it fear that controls my mind?
When I wake I can't tell what is right from the wrong
But no matter what happens, I must carry on
In the darkness before the dawn
In the darkness before the dawn

I can feel my body shaking
I can feel all of the fear
I can feel the demons but I can't let them win
And my broken heart is weary
And my broken words confess
And my broken spirit will conquer every sin

There's a fire in my heart to keep the dark at bay
But my defenses have decayed

So I pray for a change to begin inside
For the courage to not run and hide
Is it shame, is it fear that controls my mind?
When I wake I can't tell what is right from the wrong
But no matter what happens I must carry on
In the darkness before the dawn

So I take on the change that begins inside
For the courage to not run and hide
No more shame, no more fear to control my mind
When I wake I can't tell what is right from the wrong
But no matter what happens I must carry on
In the darkness before the dawn

(Awake the dark, awake the dark) in the darkness before the dawn
(Awake the dark) in the darkness before the dawn
