Bring your light to this darkened room
'cos I don't remember what I'm supposed to do
I need you now, I need you know
When I can't bring myself to care
when no-one's left to show me how
I need you now, I need you now
I need you know
Mary mother, Mary, fill up this emptiness I feel
I'm too tired with my soul stripped bare
The fires of hell can't burn me now
When I can't bring myself to care
when no-one's left to show me how
I need you now, I need you now
I need you know
