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 it's true. Well, tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie It bends the scar of skin too deep to hide behind this fear. I'll write it out to you, this love never lied In a darkened room. All the precious times have been put to rest again And the smile of the dawn brings tainted lusting in my requiem. Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust And watch it crystallize while my salvation crumbles to dust? Why can't I see the ship before it hits the shore? I'll fall into the sea, but still I'll swim for shore. Well, tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie It bends the scar of skin too deep to hide behind this fear. I'll write it out to you, this love never lied In a darkened room. In a darkened room. In a darkened room.
