My Darkness Remains

Eternal screams
I beg for peace
In my darkness I found silence
In my sleep I did preach
Under moon light I saw sorrow
With the dawn I was given light
Chained to shadows 
Only weeping
Maimed and beaten 
Only preaching
Through my darkness
I gained solace
In my solitude
I gained hope
Only darkness 
Led me deeper
Only absence
Let me free
Under the stars
I saw your shadow
Behind the rock
Your presence preserved me
In your darkness I found safety
Shine your face upon my spirit
Send me deeper into union
Unite my presence with your peace
Salvation given freely
In my darkness I saw your light
