There's a monster down deep inside Locked behind bars and chains I call him Sin, I imprisoned him But he keeps screaming my name "Master, why won't you set me free? I only want to be your friend..." "Because I let you go before And we both know how that ends... You use my hands to scream and shout And my hands to hurt those I love. Demon, I finally cast you out With the power of my God above!" O' Lord mend my fractured soul, Unite my heart to fear thy name Forsaken among the dead Like the slain who lie in the grave Thou hast put me in the lowest pit In dark places of the depths But even though I'm way down here I worship you with every breath Beneath this tower alone and lost I am trying to find your face I don't have the power to pay the cost Undeserving of your grace Forgive me Forgive me Forgive me

Dark Psalm
There's a monster down deep inside Locked behind bars and chains I call him Sin, I imprisoned him But he keeps screaming my name "Master, why won't you set me free? I only want to be your friend..." "Because I let you go before And we both know how that ends... You use my hands to scream and shout And my hands to hurt those I love. Demon, I finally cast you out With the power of my God above!" O' Lord mend my fractured soul, Unite my heart to fear thy name Forsaken among the dead Like the slain who lie in the grave Thou hast put me in the lowest pit In dark places of the depths But even though I'm way down here I worship you with every breath Beneath this tower alone and lost I am trying to find your face I don't have the power to pay the cost Undeserving of your grace Forgive me Forgive me Forgive me
