Today the birds haven't offered a sound
Seems like the world has stopped going round
The sun peared through then faded away
And the children stopped with their children's play
The stars all fell down from the heavens above
And the darkening moon it reminded me of
How the darkness is merely an absense of light
Surrounding me with the grace of night
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Touching me
Touching me
Imagining places that I've never seen
The morning of life and the end of all dreams
And the darkness it still held no evil or fear
Yes the darkness it still held no evil or fear
And all I could hear were mysterious sounds
But so bright and so pure and heavenly sounds
And nothing had started and nothing had ended
And nothing was broken and nothing was mended
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Touching me
Touching me
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Mercy of darkness
Touching me
Touching me
