    I really want whatever comments/criticisms you all may have on this one... this is one I want perfect before begging my brother to make it sing :D.


    Darkness fell that day
    Voices mocking die away
    Heaven, earth both hush in pain
    The Maker here at Calvary
    Nearing death
    What loss
    Defeat
    Hope now dies
    And Love groans in agony

    In this single moment
    A world collapsing down
    In this single moment
    A light to pierce the gloom
    In this single moment
    A curtain tears in two
    And bursts forth a glorious victory
    In this single moment

    Darkness falls tonight
    But does not still the mocking
    Voices tumble in your head
    Glares and glances haunt the echo
    Escape
    Hide away
    Take your chance
    And leave it all behind
    But

    In this single moment
    A world collapsing down
    In this single moment
    A light to pierce the gloom
    In this single moment
    A curtain tears in two
    And bursts forth a glorious victory
    In this single moment

    No fear, no shame
    No fight or run away
    No tear, no wrong
    Can steal me now
    I know I am bought with a price
    Bought to win this time in Christ
    Redeemed for victory of life
    In this single moment

    This bit gives me some pause, but to hear it sung, it might not.

    But does not still the mocking
    Voices tumble in your head

    Voices following mocking makes possibly read this way

    But does not still the mocking voices
    Tumble in your head

    I'm also not sure of this line. Glares and glances haunt the echo
    I'm torn between really liking it and thinking it doesn't work.  Perhaps if echo came first to tie in with the voices so that people don't lose the idea of where the echo comes from?  Not sure.

    I think if I heard it sung, I could make a better call.

    I think Mmhmm is my least favorite Relient K album. What say you? I do like the band a lot, and I get such a kick out of their lyrics.
