(Sebastian Bach/Rachel Bolan/Snake)



In a darkened room

Beyond the reach of God's faith

Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed

And the innocence of a child is bought and sold

In the name of the damned

The rage of the angels left silent and cold



Forgive me please for I know not what I do

How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true



CHORUS

Tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie

That bears the scar of sin too deep

To hide behind this fear of running unto you

Please let there be light

In a darkened room



All the precisou times have been put to rest again

And the smile of the dawn

Brings tainted lust singing my requiem

Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust

And watch it crystalize

While my salvation it crumbles to dust



Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm

I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore



CHORUS
