Lyrics
"Father of Lights"
vs.
The light has gone, from this lonely prison,
No, I am not alone, I've still got my reasons,
prech.
excusing refusing to own my mistakes,
hiding in the shadows of my mind,
haunting every breath I take,
these sins are only mine...
ch.
Father of Lights, there is no
Hiding from You, with fear I tremble
When I run away, You reach
Out for me, I find mercy (I find mercy)
vs2.
All life has gone, in the wake of this treason,
No, I am not alone, I've still got my reasons,
bridge.
