despair - in darkest dreams lyrics

(from psalms 88)

o lord, god of my salvation, i have cried out to you day and night
now hear my prayer; listen to my cry
for my life is full of troubles, and death draws near
i have been dismissed as one who is dead, like a strong man with no strength left

they have abandoned me to death, and i am as good as dead
i am forgotten, cut off from your care
you have thrust me down to the lowest pit, into the darkest depths
your anger lies heavy on me; wave after wave engulfs me
you have caused my friends to loathe me; you have sent them all away
i am in a trap with no way of escape
my eyes are blinded by my tears

each day i beg for your help, o lord; i lift my pleading hands to you for mercy

of what use to the dead are your miracles?
do the dead get up and praise you?
can those in the grave declare your unfailing love?
in the place of destruction, can they proclaim your faithfulness?
can the darkness speak of your miracles?
can anyone in the land of forgetfulness
talk about your righteousness?
o lord, i cry out to you
i will keep pleading day by day
o lord, why do you reject me? why do you turn your face away from me?
i have been sickly and close to death since my youth
i stand helpless and desperate before your terrors
your fierce anger overwhelms me
your terrors have cut me off

they swirl around me like floodwaters all day long
they have encircled me completely
you have taken away my companions and loved ones; only darkness remains

each day i beg for your help, o lord; i lift my pleading hands to you for mercy

only darkness remains
