A Darkened Room Lyrics
In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered
remains of love betrayed
And the innocense of a child is bought
and sold
In the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left silent
and cold
Forgive me please for I know not
what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt
I know is true
Tell me when the kiss of love
becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running
unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
All the precious times have been put
to rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day when I'm tortured
in my trust
And watch it crystalize
While my salvation crumples to dust
Why can't I steer the ship before
it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea but still
I swim for shore
Tell me when the kiss of love
becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running
unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered
remains of love betrayed
And the innocense of a child is bought
and sold
In the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left silent
and cold
what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt
I know is true
becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running
unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
to rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day when I'm tortured
in my trust
And watch it crystalize
While my salvation crumples to dust
it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea but still
I swim for shore
becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running
unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room

No... It's not about cheating, it's about child abuse. :/
wow, after finding out that the song is about child abuse, the song suddenly became a lot more sad and meaningful.
Wow, I never figured it was about child abuse. It really hits me with a lot more meaning now.
Its absolutely about abuse, and the worst type. Just look at the words: "the innocence of a child is bought and sold" "Tell me when a kiss of love becomes a lie That bears the scar of sin too deep To hide behind" "All the precious times have been put to rest again And the smile of the dawn Brings tainted lust singing my requiem"
Sorry, but this has nothing to do with a cheating relationship.. everything about these words scream of the unforgivable crime of molestation. And kudos to the band for putting something unspeakable into words that forces us all to see reality
@Lilly2020 I know this is a little late in the game, but I always hoped I was wrong about this song being about child abuse. I was afraid to look into it because of something else long suspected. Btw, Sebastian Bierk should be credited as one of the writers... It's one of the reasons, if not the only one, Rachel Bolan doesn't care for this song-- Baz wrote the lyrics. Same reason Bolan claims Wasted Time was "... the worst piece of crap we ever did". Idk where Bolan writes from, but Sebastian writes from life. I know one brother at...

Same reason Bolan claims Wasted Time was "... the worst piece of crap we ever did". Idk where Bolan writes from, but Sebastian writes from life. I know one brother at least got lost into heavy drugs, hence Wasted Time. And as much as Baz talks about family-- and he clearly idolized his father, etc-- I always wondered why his temper was so off the charts. Then along comes IADR. Hmm... My heart goes out to anyone who has had to suffer through that horrifying and evil betrayal of trust. I think we all know what we'd like to do to people that vile, so I'll stop here before I end up on a watch-list or something! Sebastian Bach has a reputation for being disliked by many-- I think he's quite misunderstood...JMO.
As a victim of child abuse who didn't say anything for 30+ years, this song really hits home.
spotify really putting this after all in the name of... by motley crue.....

I cant believe no one has commented on this song yet its such a good song perfectly what happens to some one who cheats and is forced to watch everyone and everything fall away as punishment for what they've done People if youre dating some one who has cheated on you listen to this and think about what they might be going through cause alot of times all it is is that they love you more than anything but they became weak and gave in to temptation not meaning to hurt you and they lie about it hoping to bury it in the past so you dont get hurt but you still do and are hurt even more
