Jennifer Knapp martyrs thieves

Select language to translate this lyric

There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to
That presses harsh hope against time
In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves
Who only want to rob you blind
They steal away any sense of peace though I'm a king
I'm a king on my knees
And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong
As the darkness covers me
So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory
I am not afraid to bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness
I have a kingdom to gain
Where there is peace and love in the Light in the Light
I am not afraid to let Your light
Shine bright in my life in my life
There are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul
Than I thought I had given away
They linger in closets and under my bed
And in pictures less proudly dis-played
A great fool in my life I have been
Have squandered till pallid and thin
Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
From darkness I know I've let win
Can you hear me? can you hear me
