Today the birds haven't offered a sound.
Seems like the world has stopped going round.
The sun peered through then faded away
And the children stopped with their children's play.
The stars all fell down from the heavens above
And the darkening moon it reminded me of
How the darkness is merely an absence of light
Surrounding me with the grace of night
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Touching me
Touching me…
Imagining places that I've never seen
The morning of life and the end of all dreams.
And the darkness it still held no evil or fear
Yes the darkness it still held no evil or fear.
And all I could hear were mysterious sounds
But so bright and so pure and heavenly sounds.
And nothing had started and nothing had ended.
And nothing was broken and nothing was mended.
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Touching me
Touching me…
