When the Darkness Comes (Ben Gold Remix) [Mixed] - John Askew & Shelby Merry

I spent a year out in the desert, I spent a year out in the sea I spend my nights under the stars just dreaming of sleep I still question where I've been I don't know where I will go I just look up to the skies like there's a sign I didn't see, I didn't know I didn't see and I didn't know Lord, can you bring me back home I know I've lived a wicked life, and I will never change my ways An unapologetic runaway until it's my last day Why is it so easy to light a match and watch? We were made of dried up timber We were made to turn to dust Ooh, take me on down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found So I went back to my home and I burned it to the ground An angel sat beside of me, we both watched it all fall down "I'm a loner of a lover, I'm a lover of my ways So if you're here to take me back, there ain't nothing left to save" Ooh, burned it all down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found Ooh, take me on down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found I made it to the edge, there was nothing left to see I lit one last cigarette, the angel sat beside of me I said, "I know you've got your job" He said, "The grace that I have brung Is that your death is gonna save you from the things you're running from" Ooh, take me on down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found Ooh, take me on down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found At the gallows it was mercy I had found At the gallows it was mercy I had found

I can feel the storm above The rain is coming now I can hearthe train ahead Tonight I'm leaving town And today is the day that I break free from these shades So won't you come and save me From this war that I've been living in Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Won't you come and save me from this war that I've been livin' in Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Ohhh

I could have loved you in time But I don't have much time, even to myself You think I'm here to stay but I know That the winds are gonna change And my heart will feel the pain of wanting something else So let me apologize ahead Cause I'm gonna break your heart tonight instead I'm gonna break your heart I'm gonna break your heart Quiet and softly You're better off without me You're trying to pull me in but you're pushing us apart I cannot touch you without setting your hopes on fire So please, oh please hear me every word I say: I promise you, oh I promise you I'm gonna let you down in every way I'm gonna break your heart I'm gonna break your heart Quiet and softly You're better off without me

You can fall asleep on my knees, And I'l hold your hand. Separate yourself from the darkness in this world, And slip into a pacefull land. And hell will rise, As the sun falls down. So close your eyes, I'll wake you when the day sounds. They never gonna brake me, Never gonna change us. This war is not on flesh and bone, This war wages in us. And it burns like a fire. And it burns like a fire. And there's a voice inside my head, And it's telling me to be brave. When the darkness comes. And if you ain't scared, Then you ain't human. And it burns like a fire, It burns like a fire. And we're al running from our lives somehow, Terrified at what do we'll find, When the walls come falling down. When the walls come falling... When the walls come falling... And it burns like a fire, And it burns like a fire. (They never gonna break me, They never never gonna change us) And it burns like a fire, And it burns like a fire. (They never gonna break me, They never never gonna change us) Tell me, Did it feel right? (Never gona change us) To kill something so defenseless? (And it burns like a fire) Tell me, Did it feel right? To kill something so defenseless? (And it burns like a fire) Never gonna break me, They never gonna change us. And it burns like a fire, And it burns like a fire. They never gonna break me, They never gonna change us. They never gonna break me.
