Darkness Before The Dawn

Is there anybody out there?

Is there anyone that's left?

Is there any way I can make it out alive?

What is left that they've not taken?

What is left beyond the pain?

What is left of truth when I only hear their lies?

There's a fire in my heart to keep the dark at bay

But my defenses have decayed

So I pray for a change to begin inside

For the courage to not run and hide

Is it shame, is it fear that controls my mind?

When I wake I can't tell what is right from the wrong

But no matter what happens, I must carry on

In the darkness before the dawn

In the darkness before the dawn

I can feel my body shaking

I can feel all of the fear

I can feel the demons but I can't let them win

And my broken heart is weary

And my broken words confess

And my broken spirit will conquer every sin

There's a fire in my heart to keep the dark at bay

But my defenses have decayed

So I pray for a change to begin inside

For the courage to not run and hide

Is it shame, is it fear that controls my mind?

When I wake I can't tell what is right from the wrong

But no matter what happens I must carry on

In the darkness before the dawn

So I take on the change that begins inside

For the courage to not run and hide

No more shame, no more fear to control my mind

When I wake I can't tell what is right from the wrong

But no matter what happens I must carry on

In the darkness before the dawn

(Awake the dark, awake the dark) in the darkness before the dawn

(Awake the dark) in the darkness before the dawn
