[Verse 1]

Sometimes life seems too quiet

Into paralyzing silence

Like the moonless dark

Meant to make me strong

Familiar breath of my old lies

Changed the color in my eyes

Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

[Chorus]

Sorrow lasts through this night

I'll take this piece of You

And hope for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As You flew right through me

[Verse 2]

Left alone with only reflections of the memory

To face the ugly girl that's smothering me

Sitting closer than my pain

He knew each tear before it came

Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

[Chorus]

Sorrow last through this night

I'll take this piece of You

And hope for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As You flew right through me

[Bridge/Verse 3]

And we kiss each other one more time

And sing this lie that's halfway mine

The sword is slicing through the question

So I won't be fooled by his angel light

[Chorus]

Sorrow lasts through this night

I'll take this piece of You

And hope for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As You flew right through me

And up into the stars

[Outro]

Joy will come!
