Mark Walton - Hopelessly Changed (10th Circle Music) Lyrics

Where does a god go when his spirit is churned?
When feelings of light leave him broken and burned?
I now know what men need, but now must concede,
I'm lost and I'm broken, don't know where to turn.

I've walked in the darkness, I'm darkness in whole.
Felt warmth of the light, now it burns through my soul.
A burden not shared, this crown that I wear,
Who'll grant me some mercy, who'll answer my prayer?

Is there a grace or a mercy for me,
For this soul in the dark, for this dreamer of dreams?
Alone here, I cry, I'll pray to on high.
Please offer me grace, I promise I'll try.

These gifts they have burned me, like fire in my core,
Love, friendship, and mercy-what could they be for?
My compass is shattered, My heart is in tatters.
Who'll understand me and the pain I endure?

I've portioned out terror, sown vengeance and might,
Now in this abyss, I will pray for some light.
I need a lifeline. A whisper, a sign,
I'm soaked in profane, but now need the divine.

I'm distant from love and the Source of this song.
Perhaps in that presence I'll finally belong.
A soul in dismay. On my knees, I now pray.
I hate you, I need you, please help me along.

Is there a grace or a mercy for me,
For this soul in the dark, for this dreamer of dreams?
Alone here, I'll cry, and pray to on high.
Please offer me grace, I'm willing to try.

My prayer has been offered, it floats in the dark
I'll wait for an answer, an insight or spark.
As darkness draws near, faint faith holds me here.
Hopelessly changed by love's deep lasting mark.
