Tonight Tonight
And so I wake from the sleep of a thousand years
Clawing out from my eyes a desert of dried tears.
And so I scream with a voice that is harsh broken
Repeating the words of the last lie spoken
Everything will be alright
Trust me
I will guide you to the right
Trust me
I am the light, the light
Trust me
Tonight, tonight
Ashes fell from armageddon sky line
Dark the eyes see when everyone is blind
Twisted bones and bible verses laid
On the sewing needle beds we have made.
Innocence grazed like sluggish sheep
Unprotected in the final cusps of sleep
Fighters few and soldiers weary
Even the smell of daffodils seemed scary
Save of us all... we were screaming
There rose a leader made of scars of spirit
Preaching loud so that everyone could hear it
Everything will be alright
Trust me
I will guide you to the right
Trust me
I am the light, the light
Trust me
Tonight, tonight
Pitch black, blood red
Rains from the heavens dead
Repeating the last lie spoken
Faith is broken
Right is the wrong direction
What was left was protection.
