lyrics

In the dark and the stillness of the night,
I stand my trail,
I stand my trial
The difference 'tween what's wrong and what is right
Is but one turn of the dial.
Time hovers by the wall
Waiting on me to fall,
Go meet my kingdom come;
Where I will stand & face the truth
One thing I must do, 'coz I don't run.

She was like a spirit in the moonlight
So alive, a fire-fly;
Her innocence it burned so bright
But I was in denial.
I found what it takes to take a life
Run the sharp edge of the knife
Across my thumb;
Desire spreading like a stain
The hurt, now the pain won't be undone.

There’s a light, a brief crescent
Of a fallin’ star;
Never more to grace the heavens, leaving just a scar
Straight across my heart …


In the dark and the stillness of the night
I stand my trial, I stand my trial;
The difference 'tween what's wrong and what is right
Is but one turn of the dial.
Now I walk this this road alone,
Kicking every other stone
I watch them skip and run;
And with the passing of each mile
My exile has begun.
