Ever since the pain set in and dusk spilled over everything, I can't hear You. I can't hear You.
Gone the vows and alms of day. Of all I've lost the cruelest thing is that I can't hear You. I can't hear You.
Light the darkness, light the darkness.
The wounds you kiss, the joints you break. As limb from limb the silence takes when I don't hear You. I don't hear you. My G-d I don't hear You, why don't I hear You?
Light the darkness, light the darkness.
In this night more lovely than the dawn, Your hand finds mine here in the dark. When I've no form left to hold You close, Your voice itself becomes my home.
Light the darkness, light the darkness.
