Darkness

I was chasin' my demons, carryin' my cross
Searchin' for survivors in a battle I had lost
I'd proven my valor, but I had no sense of pride
A charlatan for a king can make you blind

I was hopin' for reasons
Someone to believe in
When an angel of mercy
Appeared before my eyes

Here in the darkness we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness sweet as the soul
Hidin' from the sins no one should know

I held her closer, banishin' my fears
Death's a sanctuary for those drownin' in their tears
Castin' our shadows when movin' through the fight
On the weary in the wicked and the wise

In all men's confusion
He's conjured up illusions
Of a world we once lived in
Dyin' before our eyes

Here in the darkness we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness sweet as the soul
Hidin' from the sins no one should know

I kneel down before you, my arms have no strength
My soul has no use, my energy is spent
And I ask for forgiveness for all of my wrongs
And the light overcame me and the darkness was gone

Here in the darkness we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness sweet as the soul
Hidin' from the sins no one should know

Here in the darkness we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness sweet as the soul
But when you seek forgiveness you must go
