Dark Night of the Soul
from Embracing Uncertainty by Ethan McKenna
lyrics
Hope fades again
Shadows all closing in
Their whispers surround me
With a dark song of apathy
They sing of love, cancerous love
And fear, fear of the unknown
They sing of you and all of your light
And they sing of me and all I’ll never be
Black scar on my heart, a gift from an angel
I still hear her voice, it echoes through me
Her spirit moved on but I couldn't do the same
She sang of love, beautiful love
A new point of view from wisdom above
She sang of change, a change in the mind
It lifted the veil off these quiet eyes
She sang of love
Hope, hope fades again
The past unravels and the truth sinks in
And I fall back into you, back into sorrow
I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget
The empty embrace, the sun on your face, a letter home
A call of false promise, ignorance bliss, I can’t let go
A heartless goodbye, a plague on my mind, I keeps me awake, I keeps me alive
Hope fades again, the cycle never ends
Dark night of my soul
(Hope fades again
The cycle never ends)
This love, this love is a lie.
Shadows all closing in
Their whispers surround me
With a dark song of apathy
They sing of love, cancerous love
And fear, fear of the unknown
They sing of you and all of your light
And they sing of me and all I’ll never be
Black scar on my heart, a gift from an angel
I still hear her voice, it echoes through me
Her spirit moved on but I couldn't do the same
She sang of love, beautiful love
A new point of view from wisdom above
She sang of change, a change in the mind
It lifted the veil off these quiet eyes
She sang of love
Hope, hope fades again
The past unravels and the truth sinks in
And I fall back into you, back into sorrow
I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget
The empty embrace, the sun on your face, a letter home
A call of false promise, ignorance bliss, I can’t let go
A heartless goodbye, a plague on my mind, I keeps me awake, I keeps me alive
Hope fades again, the cycle never ends
Dark night of my soul
(Hope fades again
The cycle never ends)
This love, this love is a lie.
