I was chasing my demons, carrying my cross
Searching for survivors in a battle I had lost
I'd proven my valor, but I had no sense of pride
A charlatan for a king can make you blind
I was hoping for reasons, someone to believe in
When an angel of mercy appeared before my eyes
Here in the darkness, we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness, sweet as the soul
Hiding from the sins no one should know
I held that notion, banishing my fears
That's a sanctuary for those drowning in their tears
Casting our shadows, we're moving through the fight
On the weary and the wicked and the wise
In an old man's confusion, he's conjured up
The illusions of a world we once lived in
Dying before our eyes
Here in the darkness, we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness, sweet as the soul
Hiding from the sins no one should know
I kneel down before you, I kneel before you

My arms have no strength, my sword has no use
My energy is spent, and I ask for forgiveness
For all of my wrongs and the light overcame me
And the darkness was gone
Here in the darkness, we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness, sweet as the soul
Hiding from the sins no one should know
Here in the darkness, we're all the same
We are killers and lovers with no shame
Here in the darkness, sweet as the soul
But when you seek forgiveness, you must go
Here in the darkness, sweet as the soul
