In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
The light I did pursue
But the dark it did ensue
Though I ran with all my might
The darkness remained right by my side
It remained like a moonless night
No guiding light
To alumminate my flight
It wasn't right
The darkness I could not fight
In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
The Sun glistening through the trees
I could almost feel the breeze
It brought me to my knees
To pray to a God that doesn't see
He's left me to all the fears
He's never near
He's made it clear
This God only listens with a deafened ear
In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
I am the sheep lost in the dark
My soul it has no spark
Only sound, song of the lark
To my voice no one will hark
Please take my eyes I no longer want to see
The nothingness in front of me
I beg of you I plea
Imprisoned in the dark, left groping for a key
In this darkness left to stand
Forced to see the brighter lands

In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
The light I did pursue
But the dark it did ensue
Though I ran with all my might
The darkness remained right by my side
It remained like a moonless night
No guiding light
To alumminate my flight
It wasn't right
The darkness I could not fight
In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
The Sun glistening through the trees
I could almost feel the breeze
It brought me to my knees
To pray to a God that doesn't see
He's left me to all the fears
He's never near
He's made it clear
This God only listens with a deafened ear
In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
I am the sheep lost in the dark
My soul it has no spark
Only sound, song of the lark
To my voice no one will hark
Please take my eyes I no longer want to see
The nothingness in front of me
I beg of you I plea
Imprisoned in the dark, left groping for a key
In this darkness left to stand
Forced to see the brighter lands
