I was chasing my demons, carrying my crossSearching for survivors in a battle I had lostI'd proven my valor, but I had no sense of prideA charlatan for a king can make you blindI was hoping for reasons, someone to believe inWhen an angel of mercy appeared before my eyesHere in the darkness, we're all the sameWe are killers and lovers with no shameHere in the darkness, sweet as the soulHiding from the sins no one should knowI held that notion, banishing my fearsThat's a sanctuary for those drowning in their tearsCasting our shadows, we're moving through the fightOn the weary and the wicked and the wiseIn an old man's confusion, he's conjured upThe illusions of a world we once lived inDying before our eyesHere in the darkness, we're all the sameWe are killers and lovers with no shameHere in the darkness, sweet as the soulHiding from the sins no one should knowI kneel down before you, I kneel before youMy arms have no strength, my sword has no useMy energy is spent, and I ask for forgivenessFor all of my wrongs and the light overcame meAnd the darkness was goneHere in the darkness, we're all the sameWe are killers and lovers with no shameHere in the darkness, sweet as the soulHiding from the sins no one should knowHere in the darkness, we're all the sameWe are killers and lovers with no shameHere in the darkness, sweet as the soulBut when you seek forgiveness, you must goHere in the darkness, sweet as the soul
