Darkness once gaped

Shuttered eyes and the light drains away

Darkness takes control in the absence of colour

Lighting flashes of blue and gray

Shatter the quiet I seek behind

Barriers of flesh, so very thin

No rest found in my templed mind

Won't let the light in

Can't open the shutters

Rather fill the dark on the lightning's whim

Grasping, forming, taking shape

Pulling memories and song

Where the darkness once gaped

My sanctuary is lit from within

Rather than without

I provide the music, light the candles

As my soul comes out
