Dark Light

H.I.M. · Dark Light [2005]

Shivers run through the spine

Of hope as she cries

the poison tears of a life denied

In the raven black night

Holding hands with



Dark light

Comes shine in her lost heart tonight

And blind

All fears that haunt her with

Your smile

Dark Light



In oblivions garden

The bodys on fire

Writhing towards the angel defiled

To learn how to die

In peace with her god



Dark light

Come shine in her lost heart tonight

And blind

All fears that haunt her with

Your smile

Dark Light
