Darkness Thy Gift

Through the mist and the dazzle
 Through the eyes that feed on marvels
 Through eternal damnation
 Ever ending oppression
 For this lifetime conviction
 I see him standing tall
 I'm ready to atone
 He feeds from my darkness
 And he forges new wonders
 Desperation needs guidance
 As a son needs his father
 I see a beacon of light
 Brushes the dust away from all that I hide
 A brighter star shines from the sky
 Desperation needs guidance
 Neither enemy nor friend
 An otherworldly patron
 Moves aside the failure of flesh
 Sends you off to the ultimate quest
 I see him standing tall
 I'm ready to atone
 He feeds from my darkness
 And he forges new wonders
 In a blurry vision
 In an age long ago
 As I was laying defenseless
 A stranger in my own home
 He took me under his warm wings
 And healed my broken soul
 Desperation needs guidance
 As a son needs his father
 I see a beacon of light
 Brushes the dust away from all that I hide
