Lyrics

Shadows come to me
Let your face be known
Time has come to see
Turning every stone

Cause I still feel the pain
All the Love I buried

Circle in the dirt
Blood on every hand
Time has come to stand

You who turned on me
When I was in need
Face me if you can

Cause I still feel the pain
Anger and the shame
Stain that won't come out

And I never thought I could
Let this go for good
But I can't hate you now

All the Love I buried

Mercy flow through me
Follow where I fall
Time has come to be
Bathed in clarity
There is no enemy

But I still feel the pain
Anger and the shame
Stain that won't come out

And I never thought I would
Let this go for good
But I can't hate you now

All the Love I buried

I can't hate you now...
