Sleep Again

My mind twists with trouble I can't solve
Testing my conviction and my resolve
Rise up every morning to the light
Daily contribution to the Fahrenheit

Saw the world, drawn in gold and red
Bringing sick'ning dreams to my feather bed
I ate the fruit that tempted me
I'm sick to my bones with hypocrisy

We're woken
Will we sleep again
Will we sleep again

I walked a mile in diamond shoes
Until my feet were stained with milk tattoos
Held my hands to the county wall
My need to confess was pitiful

We're woken
Will we sleep again
Will we sleep again

I need an antidote for pain
That only man will feel
As futile as a prayer for rain

Made a vow to plead with men of state
They couldn't lift their gaze from their leaden plates
Sealed my palms and knelt before the shrine
The only voice responding to the cries was mine

We're woken
Will we sleep again
Will we sleep again

We're woken
Will we sleep again
Will we sleep again
