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
