I Am The Gathering Darkness

I am the gathering darkness
I am the groan of suffering women
I am the pain of dying men
I am the screams of starving children
I am the barren land of Ham
I am the lust of lonely men
I am the bleeding of the wounded
I am the shrieking of the demons
I am the tears of angel eyes
I am the weeping of the harlot
I am the scarlet sin of night
I am the sweat of rock and roll
I am the pride of Lucifer
I am the violence of injustice
I am the terror of the unknown
I am the fear of God alone
I am the sickness of the weak
I am the urge of mute to speak
I am the burn of whiskey neat
I am the rape of innocence
I am the vengeance of the hateful
I am the lamentations of the prophets
I am the despair of damnation
I am the theft of poverty’s bread
I am the shock of electric chair
I am the quick and the dead
I am the naked and the damned
I am the gathering darkness

I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the Lord
For I am that I am hath sent his son
I am the way the truth and the life.
I am the resurrection and the life.
I am everlasting life.
I am
I am
I am
