Kneel To Your Conscience

Tonight, your conscience comes calling Last November comes knocking (Pause) It's just turned two All alone in bed, except your conscience and you Time to deal with the shame You have no one to blame Because at night The mind takes flight No place to hide Nowhere to run (pause) Time to dwell on the selfish needs That causes you do those dirty deeds To all that have been taunted It's time to be haunted Nobody thinks you'll ever pay For all the nasty things you say Never caring, about the lives in need of repairing After the damage you've done But what's hidden from others Now comes to light The silence around you is gripping As the darkness is piercing (Pause) At night The mind takes flight No time to heal To your conscience it's time to kneel So now you'll remember What you did last November (Pause) No escape from yourself As you pray for daylight
