Machine Head - Darkness Within (Live 2012) Lyrics
In this darkness that i lay depression heavy in its wakeHow my body aches to leave I sing its final eulogySons I love you evermore and though the road beckons once moreI see the damage that i've done and search for redemptionBut i am just a broken man a soul comes out to understandHow the madness shatters me upon the stage on bended kneeI scream aloud to skies above, that answer mute, bereft of loveI struggle not to fall from grace I sing the hymns of my disgraceWe build cathedrals to our pain, establish monuments to obtain.Freedom from all of the scars and the sins, lest we drown in the darkness within.History's forgotten chords a strum in vain to please the lordBut he has never answered me my faith has weened eternallyAn empty man to pass along, the woes of all religions wrongAnd now the shadow veil falls, heed the clarion callSo pray to music build a shrine, worship in these desperate timesFill your heart with every note, cherish it and cast afloat'Cause God is in these clef and toneSalvation is found alone, haunted by its melody, music it will set you freeWe build cathedrals to our pain, establish monuments to obtain.Freedom from all of the scars and the sins, lest we drown in the darkness within.
