My only friend is darkness.
All through the day I call on You, the Everlasting;
I stretch my hands to heaven, weeping and fasting.
Imprisoned in the darkness in the deepest abyss,
No friendly soul, no sound to relieve my loneliness.
What have I done, my God, to incite your anger?
Whom have I hurt to place my soul in such danger?
Yet You have cast me down into the lowest grave;
Will You not now hear me, my very life to save?
Why do You cast me off and reject me, my Lord?
In terror You unsheathe Your double-edged sword.
Your wrath sweeps over me like the terrible flood
As I plead the mercy of Your beloved Son’s blood.
But my only friend is darkness.

My only friend is darkness.
All through the day I call on You, the Everlasting;
I stretch my hands to heaven, weeping and fasting.
Imprisoned in the darkness in the deepest abyss,
No friendly soul, no sound to relieve my loneliness.
What have I done, my God, to incite your anger?
Whom have I hurt to place my soul in such danger?
Yet You have cast me down into the lowest grave;
Will You not now hear me, my very life to save?
Why do You cast me off and reject me, my Lord?
In terror You unsheathe Your double-edged sword.
Your wrath sweeps over me like the terrible flood
As I plead the mercy of Your beloved Son’s blood.
But my only friend is darkness.
