lyrics

On this road I've been burned
At the crux of my hearts turns
Set down to die
In the sorrow of my lovers eyes

Man has faults just like me
Weighs us down like a guilty plea
Put on trail for this world to see
Love is the verdict that we've reached

I was born into the night
Lived by faith, yeah and not by sight
Soon these troubles will disappear
And symphonies of beauty play in my ear
Living in the shadow lands is where I've gone
Never realized they were caused by the sun
Imaginary darkness is who I believed
Envisions of the past enslaved me

Rain fall down upon my face
Wash this filthy grit away
Turn back the clock when I used to chase
The beauty of a dream and its glory days

I was born into the night
Lived by faith, yeah and not by sight
Soon these troubles will disappear
And symphonies of beauty play in my ear
Living in the shadow lands is where I've gone
Never realized they were caused by the sun
Imaginary darkness is who I believed
Envisions of the past enslaved me

And for what its worth
I've found new life in the sounds and sights
And for what its worth
I've found new life in the sounds and sights of love

And for what its worth
I am found
And for what its worth
We are found
