When night is dark and stars shine
When night is dark and stars shine
When daylight awakes in morning glory
When sky is gray and thunder rolls
When brightness of day seems endless
Think of me and offer prayers on high
I came to your world with clever pretense
You could not see soul's distortion
Mask I wore concealed new scars and old wounds
How I long to no longer deceive and hold back
May mask be lifted and sun shine on my face
Can you see often sadness in my eyes?
True they are gray, but to what extent?
What sorrow do I wish gone and light shine through?
Can I trust you with secrets of who I am?
Are you prepared to look beneath the mask?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I arose but no one was there
My eyes stung as I realized my state
Cursing myself I laid my head down
Asking questions of the silence
Why must I be alone?
Why do I beg to know truth?
Why can't I feel love when I need it most?
Where is he that I bind myself to?
Where is that fellowship I desire?
I hear no voice calling to me
Calling my return from this nightmare
Despair
Hopelessness
Tears
Shadows
Whispers
Sleep
Sing a requiem for me
For my undoing is near
My slow death is in loneliness
