Darkness Within

	  		Verse: 1 

Am                              E 
Here in this darkness that I lay 
                           Em 
Depression heavy in its way 
                            F6 
And how my body aches to leave 
             E            Am 
And sing its final eulogy 
                            E 
My sons I love you evermore 
                                     Em 
And though the road beckons once more 
                               F6 
I see the damage that I've done 
               E 
And search for redemption 
     Am 
But I am just a broken man 
      E 
Whose soul cries out to understand 
Em 
How the madness shatters me 
 F6               E 
Upon the stage on bended knee 
       Am 
I scream aloud at skies above 
     E 
That answer mute, bereft in love 
  Em 
I struggle not to fall from grace 
  F6                E              F 
I sing the hymns of my disgrace 


             Asus4             Am 
We build cathedrals to our pain 
             C            F 
Establish monuments to attain 
              Asus4                     E 
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins 
                                   Am 
Lest we drown in the darkness within 



Verse: 2 
Am                        E 
Mystery's forgotten chords 
                                  Em 
I strum in vain to please the lord 
                            F6 
But he has never answered me 
                 E           Am 
And faith has waned eternally 
                           E 
In empty men who pass along 
                                Em 
The woes of all religions wrong 
                                  F6 
And now the shadowed veil it falls 
             E 
Heed the clarion call 
       Am 
So pray to music build a shrine 
E 
Worship in these desperate times 
Em 
Fill your heart with every note 
F6              E 
Cherish it and cast afloat 
           Am 
Because God is in these clef and tone 
E 
Salvation is found alone 
Em 
Haunted by its melody 
F6              E                                    F 
Music, it will set you free (let it set you free)

Lest we drown in the darkness within
