Martyrs & Thieves Lyrics

The song Martyrs & Thieves is performed by Jennifer Knapp in the album named Kansas in the year 1998 .

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 tho 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 til 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
