In a Darkened Room - Skid Row

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

Tell me when the 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 crystalize

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 the 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
