Darkness Within

Here in this darkness that I lay Depression heavy in its way And how my body aches to leave And 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 And 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 aloud at skies above That answer mute, bereft in love I struggle not to fall from grace I 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 Mystery's forgotten chords I strum in vain to please the lord But he has never answered me And faith has waned eternally In empty men who pass along The woes of all religions wrong And 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 Because 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.... Woah, Woah... WOAH!!! 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 (WOAH...!!!) Establish monuments to attain (WOAH...!!!) Freedom from all of the scars and the sins (WOAH...!!!) Lest we drown in the darkness within (WOAH...!!!) Do Do Do...
