Blackest night in a stormy sea
I cannot keep my feet
The tempest has overwhelmed
And I am so lost, adrift
The cold rain grips me like a vise
The ocean will take me
The end is nigh, a certainty now
Say my own last rites
Blinded by snow and ice, breathless
Hurricane unrelenting
And my faith has failed me finally
Then your light, your light
Guide me, shelter me with your beam
Bring me home, my sentinel
Your lone ray is my hope renewed
My last salvation from ruin
I had hoped to bring you a keeper
The cyclone led me astray
I will be your guardian one day soon
But today you are my beacon

Blackest night in a stormy sea
I cannot keep my feet
The tempest has overwhelmed
And I am so lost, adrift
The cold rain grips me like a vise
The ocean will take me
The end is nigh, a certainty now
Say my own last rites
Blinded by snow and ice, breathless
Hurricane unrelenting
And my faith has failed me finally
Then your light, your light
Guide me, shelter me with your beam
Bring me home, my sentinel
Your lone ray is my hope renewed
My last salvation from ruin
I had hoped to bring you a keeper
The cyclone led me astray
I will be your guardian one day soon
But today you are my beacon
