Flyleaf – In The Dark Lyrics

Rock

I've written songs (in the dark)
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
I've felt inspired (in the dark)
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
I hide myself (in the dark)
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
Used to be afraid (of the dark)
(Of the dark, of the dark, of the dark)
Those in the light know we die (in the dark)
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)

There's only artificial light here
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of silence
Fill this space with idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus, kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did
Like you did

Now I am mute despite myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words forsake me
And I am left to face me (oh)
I'm held accountable
For every idle word
Curse the idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus, kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did
Like you did

Glory shows up
Exposes us
I'm naked here, forsaken here
By the dark, by the dark
Damn the dark!

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus, kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did
Like you did

    at around 3:05 or 3:06 if I'm hearing it right...Lacey screams 'damn the dark!' (or) 'damn this dark!'after 'forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark'correct me if I'm wrong?

    Yes, I'm pretty sure she did. That's what I heard as well. It striked me as odd since they are a Christian band, kind of curious about that now. I loved the song though.

    That's what I thought she said to. Even if she did, I wouldn't consider it swearing. Damning something to hell is completely different then just saying damn.

    she is just saying that its not glory to be in the dark and that she hates the evil and the silence
