Machine Head - Darkness Within lyrics

rate me

Here in this darkess that I lay

Depression heavy in its weigh

And how my body aches to leave

Sing its final eulegy

My sons I love you evermore

And though the road beckons once more

I see the damage that I've done

In search for redemption

But I am just a broken man

Whose soul cries out to understand

How the madness shatters me

Upon the stage on bended knee

I scream aloud at skies above

That answer mute, bereft in love

I struggle not to fall from grace

I sing the hymns of my disgrace

We build cathedrals to our pain

Establish monuments to attain

Freedom from all other scars and the sins

Lest we drown in the darkness within

Misery's forgotten chords

I strum in vain to please the Lord

But he hath never answered me

Faith has waned eternally

In empty man who pass along

The woes of all religions wrong

And now the shadow veil, it falls

Heed the clarion call

So pray to music, build a shrine

Worship in these desperate times

Fill your heart with every note

Cherish it and cast afloat

'Cause God is in this clef and tone

Salvation is found alone

Haunted by its melody

Music, it will set you free

Let it set you free...

We build cathedrals to our pain

Establish monuments to attain

Freedom from all other scars and the sins

Lest we drown in the darkness within

Music my savior

Save me

Music my savior

Save me

Music my savior

Save me

Music my savior

Save me

We build cathedrals to our pain

Establish monuments to attain

Freedom from all other scars and the sins

Lest we drown in the darkness within

We build cathedrals to our pain

Establish monuments to attain

Freedom from all other scars and the sins

Lest we drown in the darkness within
