< Skid Row - In A Darkened Room >



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 crystallize 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
