Bryan Carlstrom - When Darkness Reigns lyrics

My failure is so evident And I cannot hide the torment Face first to the earth Plagued by the earthly mindset I cannot escape my basement Face first to the earth Hands around my neck I might as well bow in shame Over matched, outwitted Defeat is my only name I believe everything you tell me And you've got me convinced I'm guilty I'd better close my eyes and sleep Run away 'cause tomorrow's a better day But this is your hour When darkness reigns But this is your hour When darkness reigns But this is your hour When darkness reigns But this is your hour When darkness reigns across the channels and mediums I feel the loss Face to face with the possible d**h of dreams Mental purity fades to the obscene Hence the search for another crutch Another void fill Another cane to serve as much And we'll mourn for the d**h of a brother lost And we'll toast to the d**h of another farce Have I lost the battle? But have I lost the war? Do I have what it takes to endure the setbacks Ignore the scars You'd have me adopt that suicide You'd have me succumb without reply But you forgot the thousand d**hs I've died You'd have me continue this pace 'Cause you'd like me to join your race But that grave will be nothing but an empty space Arise from the dead O sleeper Prepare for the battle cry 'Cause this is the hour When truth divides 'Cause this is the hour When truth divides 'Cause this is the hour When truth divides 'Cause this is the hour When truth divides it's done Revive the sick, the surge of blood Grab a torch and we'll light and burn Ignite offensives to claim the loss of sight Wipe the sleep from your eyes Release the fate of soul demise And it's clear for you to understand The smoke will clear and fill the land And now the claims are made Downcast eyes accompany shame The chaos ama**ed against will redirect To find a home anew To face the depths You've lost my enemy Now taste defeat Now taste your own saliva 'Cause you'll never quench the heat Arise from the dead and wake Arise from the dead Arise from the dead and wake Arise from the dead
