I've been walking in the dark

In the silence of the Lamb of God

Never trust a second thought

But I might need a redemption arc

Kingdoms go, and kingdoms come

But you can't spell amateur, without art

I've been walking in the dark

In the silence of the Lamb of God

Every night I prayed and cried and screamed

"My God, why have you forsaken me? "

Now it's c'est la vie, and ever since

I'm done suffocating on your hands

(Oh-oh) Messiah, look at the mess I am

(Oh-oh) Messiah, I'm trying the best I can

(Oh-oh) Messiah, is it all part of the plan?

(Oh-oh) Messiah

But if you are my one and only hope

Won't you hold me close, my Holy Ghost?

The void inside me slowly grows

And from its sights my soul erodes

A lifetime on the narrow way led to only pain

Gallows and a noose

My headbutt is a shallow grave

Hear my hollow prayer

Hallowed be thy name

(Oh-oh) Messiah, look at the mess I am

(Oh-oh) Messiah, I'm trying the best I can

(Oh-oh) Messiah, is it all part of the plan?

(Oh-oh) Messiah

Is it all part of the plan?

I've been walking in the dark

In the silence of the Lamb of God

I've been walking in the dark

In the silence of the Lamb of God
