Lyrics

Having come full circle, we return Edmond once again in the darkness of the Chateau D'if where our story began. Many months have passed, and Dantes has given up on the justice of man, calling out instead for god to grant him the justice he has thus far been denied.

It darkens my spirit, as hope fades away, they will not release me
Am I not innocent? Pride tells me so, is nobody listening?
I pray for an answer, there's nothing but silence
What in the world, my mysterious crime?
As hours to days, my life's slipping by me
These days are eternal, yet racing through time.

I call out my questions to uncaring walls, still no one can hear me
What have I done, still no one will say, and doubt fills my soul
Cry out in anger, to echoes and vermin
The shadows encroach just a little bit more
I turn to the wall where I've carved my salvation
And slowly I scratch out my prayer once more

Here in the dark I await, justice' calling me
Here in the dark I will call out your name
Here in the dark, dreams of justice are calling me
Here in the dark I see

I've nothing to hope for, nothing to lose, and nothing to gain
Each moment is lost an unending stream, they're all just the same
My cries go unanswered, I'm lost in the darkness
Outcast of man, and fallen from grace
Penitent, anguished, I reach toward the heavens
And plead for deliverance, or vengeance in it's place

Here in the dark I await, justice' calling me
Here in the dark I will call out your name
Here in the dark, dreams of justice are calling me
Here in the dark I see

God will grant me justice!
