Silent Sanctuaries-Rock

[Verse] In a quiet room they kneel down Whispers rising without sound Hope in hearts but then it breaks Faith is tested as each voice quakes [Verse 2] Light through windows cannot hide The pain that swells deep inside Once were hymns now cries of fear Echoes trembling loud and clear [Chorus] From silent sanctuaries Come screams and despair Voices lifting high Broken hearts in the air From prayers to pleading water Tears fill the dawn In the house of worship The light is nearly gone [Verse 3] Candles flicker in the dark Searching for a single spark Questions rise yet answers fade In the silence hearts are frayed [Bridge] Hollow footsteps on the stone Each one feels they walk alone Shadows lengthen creeping in Faint reminders of what’s been [Chorus] From silent sanctuaries Come screams and despair Voices lifting high Broken hearts in the air From prayers to pleading water Tears fill the dawn In the house of worship The light is nearly gone
