[Intro: Steve Cobucci]
Darkness

[Verse 1: Steve Cobucci]
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone that's left?
Is there any way I can make it out alive?
What is left that they've not taken?
What is left beyond the pain?
What is left of truth when I only hear

[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
So I pray for a change to begin inside
For the courage to not run and hide
Is it shame, is it fear that controls my mind?
When I wake, I can't tell what is right from the wrong
But no matter what happens, I must carry on
In the darkness before the dawn

[Post-Chorus: Steve Cobucci]
In the darkness before the dawn

[Verse 2: Lacey Sturm, Lacey Sturm & Steve Cobucci]
I can feel my body shaking
I can feel all of the fear
I can feel the demons but I can't let them win
And my broken heart is weary
And my broken words confess
And my broken spirit will conquer every sin
[Pre-Chorus: Lacey Sturm]
There's a fire in my heart to keep the dark at bay
But my defenses have decayed

[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
So I pray for a change to begin inside
For the courage to not run and hide
Is it shame, is it fear that controls my mind?
When I wake, I can't tell what is right from the wrong
But no matter what happens I must carry on
In the darkness before the dawn

[Bridge: Steve Cobucci]
Dawn is breaking
Light escaping
Shining through this empty vessel
Dawn is breaking
Night collapsing
Flares at night

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Caleb Hyles, Caleb Hyles & Steve Cobucci]
When I wake, I can't tell what is right from the wrong
But no matter what happens I must carry on
In the darkness before the dawn
[Outro: Steve Cobucci]
Dawn is breaking
Light escaping
Shining through this empty vessel
Dawn is breaking
Night collapsing
Flares at night
