Darkness - Rea Garvey

I was chasing my demons, carrying my cross

Searching 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 hoping 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

Hiding from the sins no one should know

I held her closer, banishing my fears

Death’s a sanctuary for those drowning in their tears

Casting our shadows when moving through the fight

On the weary in the wicked and wise

An old man’s confusion

He’s conjured up illusions

Of a world we once lived in

Dying 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

Hiding 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

Hiding 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
