Saints In The Dark

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I knelt where the floor was cold Counting scars like beads Father, keep my shaking hands From the old disease I wore that dark like armor Till it wore me thin Now I’m dragging shame to altar steps Trying to breathe again [Pre-Chorus] Virgin Mary, cover me Under your blue veil Saint Joseph, steady my feet When my will grows frail I have walked through iron nights I have lost my name But I am here, and I am yours Even in the flame [Chorus] Lead me out, lead me out Saints of heaven, hear me now Lead me out, lead me out From the ash to holy ground Virgin Mary, hold me close Saint Joseph, keep me true I’m looking forward now I’m not looking back at you [Verse 2] I kept that house of shadows Locked with my own hands Every room was filled with echoes Of what I could not stand But mercy came with quiet feet And knocked upon my pride I left the wreckage at the door And stepped into the light [Pre-Chorus] Saint Michael, guard the gate When the fear comes near Saint Anne, teach my heart again How to live in clear I was lost, but not alone I was torn, not done Now every broken piece in me Turns toward the Son [Chorus] Lead me out, lead me out Saints of heaven, hear me now Lead me out, lead me out From the ash to holy ground Virgin Mary, hold me close Saint Joseph, keep me true I’m looking forward now I’m not looking back at you [Bridge] Let the old pain fall away Like dust from my knees Let the water mark my skin And wash me clean Saints around my wounded name Pray me through the night I am not the ruin anymore I am built toward light [Final Chorus] Lead me out, lead me out Saints of heaven, hear me now Lead me out, lead me out From the ash to holy ground Virgin Mary, hold me close Saint Joseph, keep me true I’m looking forward now I’m not looking back at you Lead me out, lead me out Saints of heaven, hear me now I’m looking forward now I’m not looking back at you
