in the stillness of a quiet moment
when conscience finds its voice to speak
it tells of deeds done in night’s darkness
pitch-black lust and hidden hate
noise can drown the accuser
and summon back a chaosed mind
but noise cannot hide truth
and chaos cannot cleanse sin
the din that dulls the guilt
cannot save on judgment day
darkness comes not from without
but from within a soiled soul
in Christ alone can there be hope
only He can end the night
to follow Him is to be free
only from Light will the darkness flee
