When the Lights Are Down Lyrics

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny
I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black
As black as the seal on my soul

'Cause when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in my mind

And when the lights are down
You're so far away
Tell me your real name
In the silence of the darkness we unite

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny

What can protect me from the past
And all the things that I have done
She told me and then she was gone

But when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Deep in the shadows
Where the last of my delusions made a stand

'Cause when the lights are down
She'll take me away
Tell me her real name
And in death we'll live the love we never had

Come all ye faithful beneath the moon
Beneath the moon beneath the moon
Into the void as one
Marching on

'Cause when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in my mind

'Cause when the lights are down
She'll take me away
Tell me her real name
And in death we'll live the love we never had
