The Flood
They sing their songs by firelight
I watch them dull their minds
These foolish drunks and diplomats, trust a hero with their lives
Do lies and empty promises
Give hopeless men relief
Is ignorance their innocence
Do they walk the world asleep
I am cunning, they're complicit
I am coming, they dismiss it
Let their creature comforts blind them
I have come here to remind them
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will stir you from your slumber
I will never say goodnight
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will tear you from your treasure
I will never say goodnight
We're all guilty of something
For every gift there is a sin
It depends on where you're standing
Where you are and where you've been
We're all guilty of something
Cutting corners, castings stones
We are none of us immoral
We are none of us alone
We're all guilty of something
For every gift there is a take
We pretend to love the victims of the choices that we make
We're all guilty of something
Either past or present tense
Who will save you from your shadow
Who will come to your defense
We're all guilty of something
For every wrong there is a right
We'll make any lie a lullaby, if it helps us sleep at night
We're all guilty of something
Every day this quiet bore
I am here to wake you up
I am happening at dawn
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will stir you from your slumber
I will never say goodnight
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will tear you from your treasure
I will never say goodnight
I watch them dull their minds
These foolish drunks and diplomats, trust a hero with their lives
Do lies and empty promises
Give hopeless men relief
Is ignorance their innocence
Do they walk the world asleep
I am cunning, they're complicit
I am coming, they dismiss it
Let their creature comforts blind them
I have come here to remind them
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will stir you from your slumber
I will never say goodnight
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will tear you from your treasure
I will never say goodnight
We're all guilty of something
For every gift there is a sin
It depends on where you're standing
Where you are and where you've been
We're all guilty of something
Cutting corners, castings stones
We are none of us immoral
We are none of us alone
We're all guilty of something
For every gift there is a take
We pretend to love the victims of the choices that we make
We're all guilty of something
Either past or present tense
Who will save you from your shadow
Who will come to your defense
We're all guilty of something
For every wrong there is a right
We'll make any lie a lullaby, if it helps us sleep at night
We're all guilty of something
Every day this quiet bore
I am here to wake you up
I am happening at dawn
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will stir you from your slumber
I will never say goodnight
I am wakeful, I am watchful
I am unafraid to fight
I will tear you from your treasure
I will never say goodnight
