THE DARKNESS
MY WHOLE WORLD CAVED IN
AS DARKNESS KILLED THE LIGHT
THEY TOOK YOU AWAY AGAIN
I WANTED TO STAY & FIGHT.
IN A MOMENT YOU WERE GONE
NO TIME FOR ANYTHING
NOW WE TRY TO JUST HOLD ON
TO THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.
I FEAR I AM LOSING YOU TO THE DARKNESS
A WORLD I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
WHERE THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS
ONLY PAIN & FEAR & DOUBT.
I PRAY YOU FIND YOUR WAY
FOR THERE IS MERCY IN THE LIGHT,
TIL THERE'S NO MORE DEBT TO PAY
LET GOD HELP YOU WITH YOUR PLIGHT.
FATHER GOD WATCH OVER HIM
DON'T LET THE DARKNESS TAKE MY SON
SEND HIM HOME TO LIVE AGAIN
WHEN HIS PRISON TIME IS DONE.

AS DARKNESS KILLED THE LIGHT
THEY TOOK YOU AWAY AGAIN
I WANTED TO STAY & FIGHT.
IN A MOMENT YOU WERE GONE
NO TIME FOR ANYTHING
NOW WE TRY TO JUST HOLD ON
TO THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.
I FEAR I AM LOSING YOU TO THE DARKNESS
A WORLD I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
WHERE THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS
ONLY PAIN & FEAR & DOUBT.
I PRAY YOU FIND YOUR WAY
FOR THERE IS MERCY IN THE LIGHT,
TIL THERE'S NO MORE DEBT TO PAY
LET GOD HELP YOU WITH YOUR PLIGHT.
FATHER GOD WATCH OVER HIM
DON'T LET THE DARKNESS TAKE MY SON
SEND HIM HOME TO LIVE AGAIN
WHEN HIS PRISON TIME IS DONE.
