Send "Endless Dark" Ringtone to Cell

Softly the light shines in through
The gates of grace on me and you
Deceiving our restless hearts
A flickering flame so serene
Devours the night so we could see
The fear we hold on to so strong

But I know where I belong
Away from your gods
That heal all wounds
And light this endless dark

Lonely the light shines on you
Through the gates of fire entombed
Feeding on your love
Weak is the blaze that kept me away
From cruelty and tenderness embraced
Saving my soul no more

And I know where I belong
Away from your gods
That heal all wounds and light this endless dark
That shine on you and tame your burning heart
That bury my truth right into your arms
That worship the tomb of our forlorn love

Send "Endless Dark" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment: and he stays away from "your gods...light this endless dark" because he wants the mark of the love that he had

    General Comment: my take

    "i know where i belong, away from your gods, that heal our wounds and light this endless dark"

    i think that he is saying that "wounds" and "endless dark" are the marks from forbidden love because earlier in the song he says
    "The fear we hold onto so strong"
    the fear being the love they have but are afraid that some one will find their love

    General Comment:I can personally relate to this one, and I think I get what it means. It's all in the chorus.

    "i know where I belong, away from your gods"

    The singer isn't and can't be religious.. he's a dark soul, and doesn't belong in divinity. He prefers to stay in the "endless dark", but is in love with the person he's singing it to. He prefers to spend his life worshipping their love, the only thing thats ever been real for him.

    General Comment:I think he is saying he dosen't want a miricle God that is able to do anything. He would rather worship the one who he loves. Love is the temple, and if you made the reference to The Sacrement, she is his Sacrement, his bread of live as to say. His religion is not the worship of any miricle God, but of Love.

    General Comment:IMHO, it has to do with despair of living in a meaningless world. With the desire for faith, while knowing that the Universe is apathetic and illogical. In other words, it's Existential.
