‘Lead Me Through The Darkness’ [4:33] (MacDonald/Peters), The Alarm
Lead Vocals:Mike Peters
Lyrics
:
I cry my soul to sleep Somewhere in the starless night I yearn for safety's keep Away from hurt outside of time Oh wherever I run I can�t hide From the knife in the light I close my eyes to be free Of all the loneliness I feel So many against me So many seek to harm me dear Oh protection sweeping over me You�re my hope my shield Lead me through the darkness Lead me through the bitter tears Guide me to my only hope Lead me through the shadows Lead me through the darkness tonight The raging waters fall All around and drowning me See my life in chains Show me mercy hand me down the key Oh you are my shield my glory You can set me free Lead me through the darkness Lead me through the bitter tears Guide me to my only hope Lead me through the shadows Lead me through the darkness tonight In times of trouble you come to me In times of danger you come to my aid You give your all to me, When I need it most And lead me though You guide me through the sweet and bitter tears Ah lead me, oh hold me Come on and show me Lead me on Lead me through the darkness Lead me through the bitter tears Guide me to my only hope Lead me through the shadows Lead me through the darkness tonight Lead me on Lead me through the sweet and bitter tears Lead me on Lead me on

Mike Peters Notes
:A song that was first played on the ‘Electric Folklore’ tour. This song has been tried a few times in the studio by the band and we always felt uncomfortable with our performance, maybe it was the relaxed sessions of “RAW” that allowed this long time favourite of the bands’ to finally appear on an Alarm record.
