The Deep & The Dark

Shut the light, call the night, bring my safety back Are they gone, I hear none, as all fades to black But your hands on my shoulder’s calming me down Build a wall, start a war, here they come for me Grab the sword, come on board, face my enemy But you silence all their cries when you speak your loving words Be my sunrise Redemption lies in your eyes! You are my antidote when the waves of doubts rush in As I drown in my memories the darkness creeps in Losing faith on my battleground The shadows leave their mark Your light brings me back from the deep and the dark Take my hand, make a stand, and then hold your breath See what comes, see what runs, in the face of death How is it that you never seem to worry? In the end, I must bend, and then hold or break Kneel to pray, come what may, when my soul’s at stake And you loosen all the knots with a smile on your face In this rat race The enemy wears my face! You are my antidote when the waves of doubts rush in As I drown in my memories the darkness creeps in Losing faith on my battleground The shadows leave their mark Your light brings me back from the deep and the dark Come take my hand, take my heart Keep me safe, keep me warm They take my pride, take this life But they won’t take my soul! You are my antidote when the waves of doubts rush in As I drown in my memories the darkness creeps in Losing faith when I look around Madness leaves a mark Brings death to your doorway The deep and the dark
