HOT HOT HOT ... I can't wait to share this collab with Mike and Tommy. Mike and I worked on the lyrics. And my Guru, Tommy, mastered it. The song is about tensions we face today! I am sincerely praying saner minds prevail!

Lyrics
Chase Away the Darkness
© Mike Wark and Stanley Loh
2rd Fret Intro: Am   A7/  Am   A7
Verse 1   
I’ll chase away the darkness, and I’m summoned to my knees,
I won’t know what the final cost, 
This life so hardened like the rocks by the sea,
Now I think this journey is lost,
Chorus
Oh ho … I’m ambivalent,
Oh no … I misconstrue …
They dance around the fire with a thousand veils, 
While I drown in tattered sails,
Verse 2
I stood too long upon the fire lines,
Observing the games they play,
Now the body counts keep on mounting,
It really can't stay that way.
Chorus
I'm done with philosophies,
Can’t force it and then flee,
It beckons me to come with open arms
It tempts me with twisted charms,
Bridge
A thousand veils they cover you,
A thousand tears I cry for you,
Placated!
A thousand veils they cover you,
A thousand tears I cry for you,
But no one cares if the games they play are costing you! 
Verse 3
I'll chase away the darkness, and bring it to its knees,
I’m sabotaged with hidden lies,
They’re blocking the path to enlightened truth,
Now the goodness pays the price.
Repeat both Choruses

Stan I really LOVE this song. Some of your finest singing herein.
And folks should know that I only contributed a couple of verses, which you RIGHTLY modified and made your own. 
Thanks so much for involving me. I am honored!

I agree with Wyndsok, that this is your best vocals yet.  The song itself, with the guitar work to boot, is very well done with a good message.

Thierry, I initially thot some organ and/or strings might augment this tune nicely. 
However, sometimes less is truly more, and in this case, I sincerely think anything beyond Stan's achingly beautiful vocal and simple guitar accompaniment would only have detracted from this song. So no Mike guitar solo! LOL...
