[Intro]

(Dark cold night)

(Dark cold night)

Dare I speak though overcome with silence

It's been so long behind a wall that divides us

And hides us from beauty

It's been a dark cold night

Dark cold night

[Verse 1]

It's been cold, it's been dark

As we ride out the nightfall and weather the blackout

Time stops and stands still

Like we're frozen in eternity

Will the sun rise on the sons of men?

And will we hear the Word speak 'cause we're listening in the dark?

(In the dark) In the dark

(Will You speak?)

[Chorus]

Tear the veil that hidеs the light within

Destroy the walls that wе have made with all our sin

As all the voices cry, deliver us (Deliver us!)

Send the Word, tear the veil

And end this dark cold night

Dark cold night

[Verse 2]

Who can make the sun rise on this cursed ground?

That breaks all the silence with just a sound

And bring the demise of the gates of hell

That banishes death into the last farewell

There's light behind the curtain, a mercyful and free

Whose hands can break this schism I can't bear to see?

[Chorus]

Tear the veil that hides the light within

Destroy the walls that we have made with all our sin

As all the voices cry, deliver us (Deliver us!)

Send the Word, tear the veil

And end this dark cold night

Dark cold night

[Post-Chorus]

Dark cold night

Dark cold night

[Bridge 1]

Will the sun rise on the sons of men?

And will we hear the Word speak 'cause we're listening in the dark?

(In the dark) In the dark

[Bridge 2]

Tear the veil, tear it down

Make war until our sorrows cease

Save us and guide us into peace

[Chorus]

Tear the veil that hides the light within

Destroy the walls that we have made with all our sin

As all the voices cry, deliver us (Deliver us!)

Send the Word, tear the veil

And end this dark cold night

[Outro]

Tear the veil and open heaven's gates

Tear the veil, I see the sun is shining

Son of God, O guide us into peace
