Oh darkness, why do you surround me after giving you everything?
I've asked the light to come and find me, tell the devil it's time to leave
Mmmm, Only love can save me, Only love can save me...
I'm calling to the Holy of Holies, waiting for her face to shine
Be cradled in the arms of the mother and held tightly through the night
Mmmm, Only love can save me, Only love can save me...
Digging out from all the lies and sorrow, send that ladder down from on high
Gonna climb all the way to heaven, the gates are in my sight
Mmmm, Only love can save me, Only love can save me...
I'm shedding all the pain inside me, burning fires through the night
Rub the ashes all over my body, take a step into the light
Angels singing Glory Hallelujah, I can hear them call my name
Sent the devil packing south of the border, I won't be in darkness again
Mmmm, Only love can save me, Only love can save me...
